Every single line of this is wonderful. Like SAM remembers the poem of the tree from his school days I remember this poem.*sigh* My favorite lines;


I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!

Sonnet
I love this poem too. It's like music.

I remember Trees by Joyce Kilmer, too, as well as other poems from the sixth grade.
