Trees [1960, lead vo. Tony Williams] Songtext
von The Platters

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
(Trees)
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
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree
(I think that I shall never see)
