Original poem :-

                  Life

Let me but live my life from year to year

With forward face and unreluctantly soul

Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal

Not mourning for the things that disappear

In the dim past, nor holding back in fear

From what the future veils; but with a whole

And happy heart, that pays its toll

To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer.

So let the way wind up the hill or down

O'er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy

Still seeking what I sought when but a boy

New friendship, high adventure, and a crown

My heart will keep the courage of the quest

And hope the road's last turn will be the best.

A poem by Henry van Dyke

About the poet :-

Henry van Dyke (1852 - 1933) was born in Pennsylvania.  A nature lover and

avid reader, he earned degrees from Princeton then served as a

Presbyterian minister for more than 20 years. (He was considered one of

the best preachers in New York City.) He eventually returned to Princeton,

where he spent nearly 20 years as a professor of English--with a bit of

service as the U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg and the Netherlands in

between. A writer whose talent extended to many different genres, Henry's

best known works are probably the lyrics of the hymn "Joyful, Joyful, We

Adore Thee" and  the Christmas stories, "The Story of the Other Wise Man"

and "The First Christmas Tree."
