#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 known mostly for his poem, oetrees, published in the 1914 collection, Trees and Other Poems, after it first appeared in Poetry magazine in August 1913. Kilmer wrote oetrees 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.
