Henry Cuyler Bunner Quotes

• What does he plant who plants a tree?
  He plants the 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 heaven's harmony.
  These things he plants who plants a tree.
