He studied at Rutgers College Grammar School and went on to Rutgers College and Colombia University, graduating in 1908. Afterward, he went on to write poetry and reviews for multiple publications, including The New York Times, and The Nation. Kilmer enlisted in the army in 1917 in the 69th Infantry Regime. Thereupon, Kilmer was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americamagazine.org\/arts-culture\/2018\/07\/27\/tragedy-joyce-kilmer-catholic-poet-killed-world-war-i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">killed fighting in World War I<\/a> for the United States Army, during the Second Battle of Marne. From the French, he was awarded the Croix de Guerre after he passed; others described him as a soldier that went above and beyond the orders he received. He was buried in France.<\/p>\n<p>Trees by Joyce Kilmer is his most well-known piece.<\/p>\n<h3>Trees by Joyce Kilmer<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I think that I shall never see<br \/>\nA poem lovely as a tree.<br \/>\nA tree whose hungry mouth is prest<br \/>\nAgainst the earth&#8217;s sweet flowing breast;<br \/>\nA tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray;<br \/>\nA tree that may in summer wear<br \/>\nA nest of robins in her hair;<br \/>\nUpon whose bosom snow has lain;<br \/>\nWho intimately lives with rain.<br \/>\nPoems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/poets.org\/poem\/trees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"reader-full-post__story-content\">\n<div class=\"is-reader\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>For Denzil\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/denzilnature.com\/2023\/05\/10\/nature-photo-challenge-12-trees\/\">Nature Photo Challenge #12: Trees<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I also recommend you visit <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/read\/feeds\/55618959\/posts\/4707939262\">Margaret&#8217;s<\/a> blog post from this Nature Photo Challenge as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do I love trees?
