The Heart of the tree (poem) by henry cuyler bunner







What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants a friend of sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free; 
The shaft of beauty, towering high;
He plants a home to heaven anigh; 
For song and mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard--
The treble of heaven's harmony--
These things he plants who plants a tree. 


What does he plant who plants a tree? 
He plants cool shade and tender rain, 
And seed and bud of days to be, 
And years that fade and flush again; 
He plants the glory of the plain
He plants the forest's heritage; 
The harvest of a coming age; 
The joy that unborn eyes shall see--
These things he plants who plants a tree. 

What does he plant who plants a tree? 
He plants, in sap and leaf and wood, 
In love of home and loyalty
And far-cast thought of civic good--
His blessings on the neighborhood 
Who in the hollow of his hand
Holds all the growth of all our land--
A nation's growth from sea to sea 
Stirs in his heart who plants a tree.
