Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost
Nothing Gold Can Stay was published in Frost's Pulitzer prize winning collection, New Hampshire in 1924.

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.
