Henry Van Dyke
Use what talents you possess the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke
The worlds in which we live at heart are one, The world I am, the fruit of I have done And underneath these worlds of flower and fruit, The world I love,--the only living root.
Henry Van Dyke

Henry Van Dyke
Hymns of today that may be sung by people who know the thought of the age...are not afraid that any truth of science will destroy Christianity, or any revolution will overthrow the Kingdom of Heaven.
Henry Van Dyke
Love is the heart s immortal thirst to be completely known and all forgiven.
Henry Van Dyke
A tear that trembles for a little while Upon the trembling eyelid, till the world Wavers within its circle like a dream, Holds more of meaning in its narrow orb Than all the distant landscape that it blurs.
Henry Van Dyke
