Explore "If all the Skies" by Henry van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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.
