THE THINGS THAT ENDURE, SELECTION by FLORENCE WILKINSON EVANS

First Line: WHAT WISH YOU, IMMORTALITY?
Last Line: BUT FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAND—ENDURE.
Subject(s): IMMORTALITY; PERMANENCE;
What wish you, immortality?
Then of frail visions become the wooer.
Stone cities melt like mist away,
But footsteps in the sand—endure.
