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.

More From Robert Frost

'ever seen a leaf - a leaf from a tree?'

'what's this - an allegory?' "no; why? not an allegory - a leaf, just a leaf. a leaf is good. everything's good.'
