Planting Of the Tree.

What does he who plants a tree?
He plants the 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 Groom of bird
In hushed and happy twilight hear
The treble of heavens 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 bird of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again.
He plants the glory of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of a coming age;
The joy that unborn ages 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 blessing on the neighborhood
Who holds in the hollow of his hand
Holds all the growth of all our land
nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs in his heart who plants a tree.
