POPLAR TREES ARE HAPPIEST, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Poplar trees are laughing trees
Last Line: Of all the trees I know.
Subject(s): Poplar Trees


Poplar trees are laughing trees,
With lilting silver call.
Willow trees droop weepingly
And never laugh at all.

Maple trees are gorgeous trees
In crimson silks and gold;
Pine trees are but sober trees,
Aloof and very old.

Black-oak trees walk sturdily,
And live oaks eager run;
The sycamores stand lazily
Beneath the summer sun.

But poplar trees are laughing trees
Wherever they may grow --
The poplar trees are happiest
Of all the trees I know.
