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.

Robert Frost

I love this poem. I think about it all the time. To me, depending on the day, i get either 'enjoy your youth while it is yours' or 'all good things come to an end', which to some people are very similar. But its not jsut the messages in Frost's poems, its his writing style - the imagery, emotion, and thought stimulation that one can get from so few words..

this is one of Frost's most beautiful poems where he symbolises the human nature and cycle with the trees and flowers....it takes sometime to really understand this poem...its just so beautiful..
