As A Tree Has


(The words from "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer, rearranged.)

Lives, prest, never think that
a tree may wear
poems--and who can?
But that poem,
God made her lovely, intimatey.

Snow-hair, summer-breast,
leafy, sweet, rain-mouth,
make with
earth's hungry bosom.
A! To see a God-nest--a tree,
lain upon her arms--lifts all of me.

I, whose tree is like robins in the day,
whose tree looks in,
I shall pray
against fools only a-flowing by.
