(For Mrs. Henry Mills Alden)
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; - This is my second favorite line because i like how joyce made it
seem as if the trees trunk was a mouth up against the earths
A tree that looks at God all day, breast.
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; - This line just makes me chuckle when i read it along with another one
Who intimately lives with rain. earlier in the poem.
Poems are made by fools like me, - This is my absolute favorite line. the early parts of this poem could be
But only God can make a tree. written by a kid but the part, just makes the poem great
I like this poem because i have had the opportunity of using it in the past. But what i really like the poem, and the reason i picked it the first time i used it is because it talks about one of the earths most important qualities... "Trees". When i read this poem i feel all warm and excited on the inside. Without trees we may not be able to breath, and because i love life, i love trees. I also enjoy using it because when i recite it, it is very easy to remember.
