'TREES' poem explanation
Hello trainers,
Please tell me the explanation of the following poem as i am unable to get it
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.
By Joyce Kilmer
Thanks
