Plant @ Sree 
Plant a tree and there may spring 
Refuge where the birds may sing; 
Beauty for the seeing eye, 
Comfort for the passerby; 
Strength for shelter’ from the storm, 
_ Coolness when the days are warm; 
Years and years of joy maybe— 
If today you-plant a tree. 
Plant a tree and there may grow 
Friendliness that all may know; 
Courage that will hearts inspire 
To lift thoughts and motives higher. 
‘Kindliness and hope and cheer ~ 
Growing stronger every year— 
And these things may come maybe 
If today you plant a tree. :
