    This poem expresses the speaker's view that trees are more beautiful than poems. The speaker describes a tree with its roots in the ground drinking from the earth like a mother, looking up to God all day with its leafy arms raised. The tree may wear a nest of robins in its hair during the summer and has experienced snow lying on its bosom as it lives closely with rain. While the speaker acknowledges they are a fool for making poems, only God can create something as lovely as a tree.

    Trees

    By: Joyce Kilmer

    Think

    That I shall

    Never see a poem

    As lovely as a tree.

    A tree whose hungry mouth

    Is pressed against the earth’s

    Sweet flowing breasts; 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.
