「Trees」
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree:
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth’s sweet flowjng breast;l
A tree that looks to 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.
注)「bosom」=「breast」
