THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
TUF.ES. 1 think that 1 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 ; That intimately lives with rain. Poems are made l>v fools like me. But only God can make a tree. —Joyce Tvilmer.
