I think that I shall never see
a poem lovely as a tree.
Kupikir aku takkan pernah menemukan
sebuah puisi seindah sebatang pohon
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
sebatang pohon yang mulutnya selalu haus
menyusu pada bumi firdaus
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
sebatang pohon yang pandang Tuhan sepanjang hari
dan mengangkat lenganlengan rimbunnya tuk memuji
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
sebatang pohon yang akan meranggas di musim panas
tempat burung robin bersarang pada dedaunan bernas
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
pada dadanya salju tlah membeku
akan bangkit bersama hujan menderu
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
