LET’S PLANT A TREE - by Aileen Fisher





LET’S PLANT A TREE

by Aileen Fisher


It’s time to plant a tree, a tree.
What shall it be? What shall it be ?

Let’s plant a pine - we can’t go wrong:
a pine is green the whole year long.

Let’s plant a maple - more than one,
to shade us from the summer sun.

Let’s plant a cherry - you know why:
there’s nothing like a cherry pie !

Let’s plant an elm, the tree of grace,
where robins find a nesting place.

Let’s plant an apple - not too small,
with flowers in spring and fruit in fall.

Let’s plant a fir - so it can be
a lighted outdoor Christmas tree.

Let’s plant a birch, an oak, a beech,
there’s something extra-nice in each…
in winter, summer, spring or fall.
Let’s plant a…

why not plant them ALL ?
