What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants the friend of sun and sky; He plants the flag and breezes free; The shaft of beauty, towering high; He plants a hove to heaven anight 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 coold shade and tender tain, 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 When 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. |
