Ab-so-tively lovely poem by HWL... Reminds me for my Thursdays at Two poetry group today I'm sharing Trees by Joyce Kilmer for our segment of sharing a poem by another poet:
1886 - 1918 Kilmer published his last poetry collection, Main Street and Other Poems (George H. Doran Company, 1917), the same year he enlisted in the U.S. Army to serve in World War I, during which time he continued to write poems while fighting in the Sixty-Ninth Regiment. He died of a gunshot from a German sniper on July 30, 1918. -wikipedia
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's 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. (poem in the public domain)
Thanx... I'll check the links out :)
