NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY
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.
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.
I'm sure this poem means a hundred different things to everyone. One meaning I get from it is to enjoy everything while you can, because life is fluid. One fantastic moment today should be enjoyed for all its worth; once the moment is gone there is no retrieving it in all its glory.
