Nothing Gold Can Stay

The BERTual friends want to share this great poem. The poem is simply about life and everything else here on earth. 


Nothing Gold Can Stay is one of Robert Frost's most famous poems. Written in 1923, this eight-line poem was published in the Yale Review in October of that year. It was later published in a collection — New Hampshire (1923; copyright renewed 1951) — that earned Frost the 1924 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.~wikipedia.com



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.
