A season of rest

Who Loves the Trees Best?


Who loves the trees best?

“I,” said the Spring;

“Their leaves so beautiful,

To them I bring.”


Who loves the trees best?

“I,” Summer said;

“I give them blossoms,

White, yellow, red.”


Who loves trees best?

“I,” said the Fall;

“I give luscious fruits,

Bright tints to all.”


Who loves trees best?

“I love them best,”

Harsh Winter answered

“I give them rest.”
