Henry Van Dyke - Joy And DutyHenry Van Dyke - Joy And Duty
Work rating: Low


“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.”
