Joy And Duty

Title:     Joy And Duty
Author: Henry Van Dyke [More Titles by Van Dyke]

"Joy is a Duty,"--so with golden lore
The Hebrew rabbis taught in days of yore,
And happy human hearts heard in their speech
Almost the highest wisdom man can reach.

But one bright peak still rises far above,
And there the Master stands whose name is Love,
Saying to those whom weary tasks employ:
"Life is divine when Duty is a Joy."

[The end]
Henry Van Dyke's poem: Joy And Duty
