A Tree

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.

Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)

La corté, un beso, le hice el amor
La limé, una caricia, le canté una canción
La pegué, un abrazo, le regalé una voz
Dónde esta tu verde? No veo tus hojas... See More
Y la raíz engreñida? Y la savia que llora?... See More

etc. etc. etc.
