If All The Skies

Title:     If All The Skies
Author: Henry Van Dyke [More Titles by Van Dyke]

If all the skies were sunshine,
Our faces would be fain
To feel once more upon them
The cooling plash of rain.

If all the world were music,
Our hearts would often long
For one sweet strain of silence.
To break the endless song.

If life were always merry,
Our souls would seek relief,
And rest from weary laughter
In the quiet arms of grief.

[The end]
Henry Van Dyke's poem: If All The Skies
