The Coin Poem by Sara Teasdale

The Coin

Rating: 2.9


INTO my heart's treasury
I slipped a coin
That time cannot take
Nor a thief purloin,—
Oh better than the minting
Of a gold-crowned king
Is the safe-kept memory
Of a lovely thing.

This is my lifetime favourite poem! The precious meaning, the choice words, the lilting rhythm.
