ONE WORLD by HENRY VAN DYKE

First Line: THE WORLDS IN WHICH WE LIVE AT HEART ARE ONE
Last Line: "THE WORLD ""I LOVE,"" -- THE ONLY LIVING ROOT."
Subject(s): REALITY;
@3"The worlds in which we live are two
The world 'I am' and the world 'I do.'"@1

THE worlds in which we live at heart are one,
The world "I am," the fruit of "I have done";
And underneath these worlds of flower and fruit,
The world "I love," -- the only living root.
