One World

by Henry van Dyke Jr.

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/henry-van-dyke-jr_poetry

“The worlds in which we live are two: The world ‘I am’ and the world ‘I do.’ ”
The worlds in which we live at heart are one, The world “I am,” the fruit of “I have done”; And underneath these worlds of flower and fruit, The world “I love,”⁠—the only living root.
