Melody Time - Trees - Mélodie Cocktail - Arbre

At last !! a gem and a superb piece. If you like it I recommend Clair de lune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcpamvLB2JU lyrics/paroles :

There's poetry in trees, they say ; and well, one day a poet found it. and then a music master wove around it melody. An artist touched it ; gave it form in colors rich and warm. Now we bring to you these three ; poem, picture, melody. A simple tribute to a tree.

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.

This poem was the favorite of my mamie (grandma) who's funeral was on my birth day (no joke) so not only is the music caliming but kind of sad, just hearing the poem its self makes me want to cry, but it is a beautiful poem and song to go with it.
