What does he plant who plants a tree?
A scion full of potency,
He plants his faith, a prophecy
Of bloom, and fruitfulness to be;
He plans a shade where robins sing,
Where orioles their nestlings swing;
Who plants a tree, - he doeth well!
A burning bush - a miracle!
What does he plant who plants a tree?
An emblem of the men to be;
Who lightly tough terrestrial clay,
But far above the earth, away
From sordid things and base,
Incarnate ideals for their race
Who plants a tree, he doeth well,
Performs with God, a miracle!
