The Heart of the Tree

By: Henry Cuyler Bruner

What does he plants who plants a tree?
He plants a 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-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard-
The treble of heavens harmony-

This things he plants who plants a tree.


When we plant a tree
We grow a wonderful family.
A tree like a flag
Breezes freely in the air.

It's beautiful, slender, high.

When we plant a tree
We plant a home in heaven.
Like a song, mother
Sings to her children.

Making harmony with  motherhood
And creating a better world,
When we plant a tree...
