Nothing Gold Can Stay

by William Simpson

Autumn'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.

Dear everybody: I should not have picked this as POTD. Misclicked, and there's no taking it back now. Enjoy some Robert Frost, posted by a guy who hasn't logged in since 2012.
