City Trees

Title:     City Trees
Author: Edna St Vincent Millay [More Titles by Millay]

The trees along this city street,
Save for the traffic and the trains,
Would make a sound as thin and sweet
As trees in country lanes.

And people standing in their shade
Out of a shower, undoubtedly
Would hear such music as is made
Upon a country tree.

Oh, little leaves that are so dumb
Against the shrieking city air,
I watch you when the wind has come,--
I know what sound is there.

[The end]
Edna St Vincent Millay's poem: City Trees
