| | Persistence of Memory |
 | | Another leaf falls in the waning year -- nothing new is here it was the same the year before The continents drift slowly by, the sea, where cities used to be, still rises toward a higher shore. |
 | | Once ages ago when we were new, there was much to do, and Mankind's memories to keep; Exploring the Earth and sea and sky, and worlds beyond that lie like islands in the starry deep. |
 | | The leaves are covered with their winter's pall, snow begins to fall as in the many years before; The continents dance their ancient minuet, not needing to forget the cities they once lightly wore. |
