🌾 Today’s Poem ~ If All The Skies

If All The Skies

Henry Van Dyke

If all the skies were sunshine,  

Our faces would be fain

To feel once more upon them  

The cooling plash of rain.

If all the world were music,  

Our hearts would often long

For one sweet strain of silence.  

To break the endless song.

If life were always merry,  

Our souls would seek relief,

And rest from weary laughter  

In the quiet arms of grief.
