"How glorious - A Maine Woods National Park!"

June Lockhart, Actress

June Lockhart, Tony Award Winning Actress, best known for her roles in the TV series, Lassie and Lost In Space, provides the following excerpt from the poem Trees by Joyce Kilmer as inspiration in support of the Maine Woods National Park.

Trees

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree that may in Summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Poems are made by famous fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.

Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)

"Trees" was originally published in Trees and Other Poems. Joyce Kilmer. New York: George H. Doran Company, 1914.
