About this listen

In this episode of A Voice Like This, Phil Rowe reads three powerful reflections on transience, legacy, and loss. Together, they explore the question: What truly endures when all else fades?

  • “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost
  • “Ozymandias” by Percy Bysshe Shelley
  • “Dirge Without Music” by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Whether it’s a season, a statue, or someone dearly loved, these poems hold a mirror to the ways we remember and the traces we leave behind.
