trees

What is more beautiful than a tree,
That a magnolia in his garden,
That a camelia with red flowers,
That an olive tree talking about peace,
What is more beautiful than a tree,

Look at the flowery almond trees,
Each branch has its mystery,
Each flower offers a new dream,

What is more beautiful than a tree,
That a palm tree with gentle calm,
That a rhododendron and its vigor,
You too can lose your mind,
What is more beautiful than a tree.


Quoi de plus beau qu’un arbre,
Qu’un magnolia dans son jardin,
Qu’un camélia à fleurs rouges,
Qu’un olivier parlant de paix,
Quoi de plus beau qu’un arbre,

Regardez les amandiers fleuris,
Chaque branche a son mystère,
Chaque fleur a un nouveau destin,

Quoi de plus beau qu’un arbre,
Qu’un palmier au calme doux,
Qu’un rhododendron et sa vigueur,
Vous aussi pouvez perdre la tête,
Quoi de plus beau qu’un arbre.

Lovely tribute to trees, Yann. Makes me think twice and thrice about how unappreciative of them I've been to date. Thanks, Gershon

So many beautiful trees, some flowering, some not. I love willows most of all. Lovely praise.

"A tree is a beautiful poem written by God". Poet Joyce Kilmer has said so. After reading your poem suddenly my mind raced back to Kilmer's poem. Indeed a tree is beautiful. So is your poem, dear Yaan.

I agree that they are beautiful with their different dimensions spring beauty, summer stateliness, fall's coloring and then winter's skeletal outlines. I enjoyed reading this one, Yann. Thank you for sharing. Sara K
