Henry Van Dyke - Edmund Clarence Stedman
Work rating: Low

Oh, quick to feel the lightest touch 
     Of beauty or of truth,
Rich in the thoughtfulness of age,
     The hopefulness of youth,
The courage of the gentle heart,
     The wisdom of the pure,
The strength of finely tempered souls
     To labour and endure! 

The blue of springtime in your eyes
     Was never quenched by pain;
And winter brought your head the crown
     Of snow without a stain.
The poet`s mind, the prince`s heart,
     You kept until the end,
Nor ever faltered in your work,
     Nor ever failed a friend.
