    The song "Trees" came from the poem of the same name by Joyce Kilmer.
    (Joyce was a man, not a woman.)

    I had never heard the song before, but I read the poem over 70 years ago.

    The Sons of the Pioneers have always been favorites of mine, with their classic "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and "Cool Water"

    You're so right... I love that poem and even tho' the songs were released before I was born I love those too, such a classic piece... there are so many versions out there.. but the Mario Lanza one, is a favourite.. or this by David Whitfield...
