About this book
Henry van Dyke gathered decades of verse into this collection, and it carries the gentle, reflective spirit that made him one of America's most beloved men of letters. A Presbyterian minister and Princeton professor, he wrote poems about the quiet of the woods, the steadying pull of faith, the ache and comfort of love, and the small revelations of ordinary days. His lines are unhurried and musical, closer to hymn and meditation than to modern experiment, and readers will recognize the sensibility behind his hymn 'Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee.' The result is poetry meant to console and steady rather than provoke.
