The Unchanging

Title:     The Unchanging
Author: Sara Teasdale [More Titles by Teasdale]

Sun-swept beaches with a light wind blowing
From the immense blue circle of the sea,
And the soft thunder where long waves whiten--
These were the same for Sappho as for me.

Two thousand years--much has gone by forever,
Change takes the gods and ships and speech of men--
But here on the beaches that time passes over
The heart aches now as then.

[The end]
Sara Teasdale's poem: Unchanging
