Life

by Henry van Dyke

Let me but live my life from year to year,

With forward face and unreluctant soul;

Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal;

Not mourning for the things that disappear

In the dim past, nor holding back in fear

From what the future veils; but with a whole

And happy heart, that pays its toll

To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer.

So let the way wind up the hill or down,

O'er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy:

Still seeking what I sought when but a girl,

New friendship, high adventure, and a crown,

I shall grow old, but never lose life’s zest.

Because the road’s last turn will be the best!

Excerpt from Love's Lantern

by Joyce Kilmer

Because the road was steep and long

And through a dark and lonely land,

God set upon my lips a song, my feet upon a dance,

And put a lantern in my hand.
