Description
Joyce Kilmer would appreciate this one, its perfect shape and formidable size make it one of the most beautiful deciduous trees in the 475 acres of Brooklyn's coolest garden spot, The Green-Wood Cemetery. Its branches play hosts to nests of robins, its thick roots anchor the soil, and its soft foliage provides a shady spot for hikers to rest.

Trees

Joyce Kilmer

I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth’s 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.
