Henry Van Dyke - Life
Work rating: Medium

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 boy, 
New friendship, high adventure, and a crown,
    My heart will keep the courage of the quest, 
    And hope the road`s last turn will be the best.
