Trees

Pour changer un peu de la musique, je vous mets un poème de Joyce Kilmer, même si en général je n’aime pas beaucoup la poésie. Je trouve celui-ci simple et humble et lovely et j’aime beaucoup les arbres moi aussi!

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

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.
