In memory yet green, in joy still felt,
The scenes of life rise sharply into view.
We triumph; Life’s disasters are undealt,
And while all else is old, the world is new.

Poem credited to "Anon" within his autobiography In Memory Yet Green (1979), but which Asimov himself had written to provide titles to two volumes of his autobiography, after his publisher suggested he use dramatic lines from some obscure poem for a title, rather than his initial suggestion of "As I Remember".
