THE TREE OUTSIDE, by                    
First Line: The tree outside stands straight and tall
Last Line: I love you, tree, straight, kind, and tall
Subject(s): Trees


The tree outside stands straight and tall
And never can lie down at all;
For if it once should take a rest,
I fear for each small swinging nest;
And so untiredly it stands
And holds up in its leafy hands
The little nests ; and soon and late
I bless my good tree, tall and straight,
I bless its kind strong loving arms,
That hold the birds and nests from harms,
It never does grow tired at all,
I love you, Tree, straight, kind, and tall.
