Trees ~ unreleased session recording 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 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! ( A tree that may in summer wear, a nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain, the lovely winter's snow, who intimately lives with rain, . . . who lives with rain! ) Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree! ~ featured in the 1948 Musical "Melody Time" Music by Oscar Rasbach with lyrics by Joyce Kilmer , 1922, 1931 G.
