Henry Van Dyke - Doors of DaringHenry Van Dyke - Doors of Daring
Work rating: Medium


The mountains that enfold the vale     With walls of granite, steep and high, Invite the fearless foot to scale     Their stairway toward the sky. The restless, deep, dividing sea     That flows and foams from shore to shore, Calls to its sunburned chivalry,     "Push out, set sail, explore!" And all the bars at which we fret,     That seem to prison and control, Are but the doors of daring, set     Ajar before the soul. Say not, "Too poor," but freely give;     Sigh not, "Too weak," but boldly try, You never can begin to live     Until you dare to die.
