by Robert Frost.
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.
The interesting thing about this poem is that is was practically unknown to most people until a movie
came out called "The Outsiders". The main character in the movie spoke the poem out loud, almost
as a soliloquy. A lot of kids watched that movie and many of them remembered the poem. Not that
it's a poem for kids, but things just worked out that way.
