Nothing Gold Can Stay
Robert Frost 1874-1963
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
. . .
(Sometimes I'll just remember the last line, and just stop for a moment.)
