    Joyce Kilmer
    “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.”
    Joyce Kilmer, Trees & Other Poems

    Mary Oliver
    “Last Night the Rain Spoke to Me"

    Last night
    the rain
    spoke to me
    slowly, saying,

    what joy
    to come falling
    out of the brisk cloud,
    to be happy again

    in a new way
    on the earth!
    That’s what it said
    as it dropped,

    smelling of iron,
    and vanished
    like a dream of the ocean
    into the branches

    and the grass below.
    Then it was over.
    The sky cleared.
    I was standing

    under a tree.
    The tree was a tree
    with happy leaves,
    and I was myself,

    and there were stars in the sky
    that were also themselves
    at the moment,
    at which moment

    my right hand
    was holding my left hand
    which was holding the tree
    which was filled with stars

    and the soft rain—
    imagine! imagine!
    the wild and wondrous journeys
    still to be ours.”
    Mary Oliver, What Do We Know

    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
    “The ceaseless rain is falling fast,
    And yonder gilded vane,
    Immovable for three days past,
    Points to the misty main,
    It drives me in upon myself
    And to the fireside gleams,
    To pleasant books that crowd my shelf,
    And still more pleasant dreams,
    I read whatever bards have sung
    Of lands beyond the sea,
    And the bright days when I was young
    Come thronging back to me.
    In fancy I can hear again
    The Alpine torrent's roar,
    The mule-bells on the hills of Spain,
    The sea at Elsinore.
    I see the convent's gleaming wall
    Rise from its groves of pine,
    And towers of old cathedrals tall,
    And castles by the Rhine.
    I journey on by park and spire,
    Beneath centennial trees,
    Through fields with poppies all on fire,
    And gleams of distant seas.
    I fear no more the dust and heat,
    No more I feel fatigue,
    While journeying with another's feet
    O'er many a lengthening league.
    Let others traverse sea and land,
    And toil through various climes,
    I turn the world round with my hand
    Reading these poets' rhymes.
    From them I learn whatever lies
    Beneath each changing zone,
    And see, when looking with their eyes,
    Better than with mine own.”
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Complete Poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “I want to see you.

    Know your voice.

    Recognize you when you
    first come 'round the corner.

    Sense your scent when I come
    into a room you've just left.

    Know the lift of your heel,
    the glide of your foot.

    Become familiar with the way
    you purse your lips
    then let them part,
    just the slightest bit,
    when I lean in to your space
    and kiss you.

    I want to know the joy
    of how you whisper
    "more”
    Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi
