![London Plane trees form a cathedral above the back streets of Bellerose
A London Plane Tree
Amy Levy (1861–89)
Green is the plane-tree in the square,
The other trees are brown;
They droop and pine for country air;
The plane-tree loves the town.
Here from my garret-pane, I mark
The plane-tree bud and blow,
Shed her recuperative bark,
And spread her shade below.
Among her branches, in and out,
The city breezes play;
The dun fog wraps her round about;
Above, the smoke curls gray.
Others the country take for choice,
And hold the town in scorn;
But she has listened to the voice
On city breezes borne.](https://a4.pbase.com/u45/jchiarella/medium/34625851.LidoCunn9250420b.jpg) London Plane trees form a cathedralLondon Plane trees form a cathedral above the back streets of Bellerose
