The song Trees - 02/04/04 03:42 AM

I have been asked to accompany a singer at a forthcoming funeral. The song in question is called "Trees".
Unfortunately neither of us has the words and/or music.
I know the first line which is:-
"I think that I shall never see, a poem lovely as a tree".
If anyone out there has the words and music and could e mail or point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Many thanks

I have an old recording by Arthur Tracey (The Street Singer) you may be able to pick out the tune from it.
