Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost

Robert Frost
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.

Review in Poem by Dexter.

Life is in flux so is beauty,
Everything in a natural kingdom ages.
Undergoes changes and decays,
A brief moment of untainted golden perfection, dissolves.

So too intangibles,
A pure intention, corrupted,
An innocent soul violated over time,
The naivety youth vanishes.

Shameful, my introduction to this poem,
Came not from a book, nor study,
But a film from the 80’s, The Outsiders,
Stay Gold Pony Boy.
