In this time of global warming this song is very appropriate...we should take care of mother nature...the trees are very important to avoid landslides, floods and other calamities. Sorry, i just forgot the author of this beautiful poem. God bless.
This was one of my mother's favorite songs; I have the sheet music and play it often. It is beautiful and brings both tears and a heart full of gratitude for the lovely music of long ago. Thank you for providing these precious memories.
This has always been one my favorite songs of days of yore via Joyce Kilmer. And probably one of Lassie's favorites, too. But, seriously, glad you gave us this offering. Cordially, John and Kristi
This takes me back to my schooldays in Luton. I worked with a couple of the girls and one I remember being thrilled at her successful audition. This was in the final year of primaty school, so she must have been very young. Such pure voices.
This brings back happy memories of childhood, I am old now, and we are living in an age of diminished expectations, and forget the beauty and ethereal things that mean the most in our lives.
Our trees in Western Pennsylvania are nearing the vibrant, verdant peak of their beauty and glory. I've read that Joyce Kilmer wrote this in the dead of winter, but the poem "comes alive" for me each May. I heard Kenny Gardner, vocalist for the Guy Lombardo Orchestra, perform this many years ago. I check YT every once in awhile for a post - so far unsuccessful. If anyone in the YT family has access to Kenny's recording, I would be most grateful if you'd share it with YT.
Tearing up right now as I listen to this...so beautiful!

This song was released even before my mother was born, and she's been dead 30 odd years, but time hasn't diminished it in any way.

The sweet sound of England that is no more: gone, gone forever never more to return.
The influx of "Commonwealth" members sounded its death knell... how sad.....

I cry as I hear this. My dad introduced me to this poem-song on the piano when I was so little. THere is nothing--NOTHING-- like this today.

Thank you to all who posted this on Youtube. My father died yesterday and this is a piece he chose for us to play at his funeral.
