Inc New century IlUD mas stimulated
the members OF the Garden Club. the
Natural History Society. and the Cen
fury Club TO redouble their efforts to
have the rare and delicate wild flowers
enjoyed IN their woodland habitat
Arather than left to wither from ruth
less handling. Aside from propangada
on the senselessness OF gathering
many wild flowers. women can play
an important part in reforestation
by urging the replanting of forests
and in setting out trees for themselves.
To tho women also is largely assigned
the task OF seeing that Arbor Day is
observed In the schools and that the
children learn to love and appreciate
the flowers and trees.
II was a soldier poet who expressed
in simple and lovely verse the rever
ence and love that Is inspired by trees.
IL think that shall never see
o poem as lovely as a tree.
tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast:
A tree that looks at God all day.
And lifts her leafy arms TO pray;
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
