We can pull and haul and push and lift and drive,
We can print and plough and weave and heat and light,
We can run and race and swim and fly and dive,
We can see and hear and count and read and write!​

Answer 1

Actually these lines are a part of "The secret of Machines"| written by the famous poet named Rudyard Kipling and here actually, we do not get any mention of Henry Van Dyke.

in this poem, or rather in these lines, present in the second stanza of the poem, the poet assumed the mouthpiece of the machines and tried to explain about the range of activities that they do.

So the whole poem has been written in such a manner as if the machines are saying what they can do. they can pull or push other substances, they can be used in irrigation etc.
