INTO my heart's treasury <br />I slipped a coin <br />That time cannot take <br />Nor a thief purloin,— <br />Oh better than the minting <br />Of a gold-crowned king <br />Is the safe-kept memory <br />Of a lovely thing.<br /><br />Sara Teasdale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-coin-3/
