Trees a Poem by Joyce Kilmer (Photos)       TREES by: Joyce Kilmer   (1886-1918) I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earths sweet flowing breast; A  tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to  pray;   A tree that may in Summer  wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow  has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like  me, But only God can make a tree. Joyce Kilmer is mostly known for his poem, œTrees, published in the 1914 collection, Trees and Other Poems, after it first appeared in Poetry magazine in August 1913. Kilmer wrote œTrees on February 2, 1913, at his home in Mahwah, New Jersey. The poem was dedicated to Mrs. Henry Mills Alden(Ada Foster Murray Alden), his wifes mother and a poet in her own right.                                                   Share ThisSubscribedel.icio.usFacebookRedditStumbleUponTechnorati
