Edna St. Vincent Millay - City Trees lyrics

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.
