Rage Against Environmental Decline
By William Deverell


TREES

By Joyce Kilmer

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.

Generations pass while some trees stand, and old families last not three oaks.

— Thomas Brown 1605-82
