CHANGELESS, by                    
First Line: All years are coined from the same gold
Last Line: They watched susanna in her garden-space.


All years are coined from the same gold,
The metal seems more precious when it's turned
New from the die and sharp and bright . . . .
And Helens are the same as when Troy burned.

The minted Now but seems more fair
Than the old coinage with its well worn face . . .
And men are as they were the hour
They watched Susanna in her garden-space.
