Henry Van Dyke Quotes About Silence

Quotes about: Silence

• If all the skies were sunshine Our faces would be fain To feel once more upon them The cooling splash 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.

  Henry Van Dyke

  Life, Sweet, Song

  Henry Van Dyke, “If All The Skies”

• These are the things I prize And hold of dearest worth: Light of the sapphire skies, Peace of the silent hills, Shelter of the forests, comfort of the grass, Music of birds, murmur of little rills, Shadows of cloud that swiftly pass, And, after showers, The smell of flowers And of the good brown earth,- And best of all, along the way, friendship and mirth.

  Henry Van Dyke

  Friendship, Peace, Flower

  Henry Van Dyke, “God Of The Open Air”

• If all the world were music, Our hearts would often long For one sweet strain of silence. To break the endless song.
