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.

"Nothing Gold Can Stay" is a poem by Robert Frost, written in 1923, and published in the Harvard Review in October of that year. It was later published in the collection New Hampshire (1923; copyright renewed 1951)[1] that earned Frost the 1924 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. 
I LOVE ROBERT FROST.  HE IS ONE OF THE FEW POETS THAT I COULD TRULY RELATE TO.  IN HIGH SCHOOL OUR CHORUS SANG SOME OF HIS POETRY SET TO MUSIC, IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE I  WILL ALWAYS CHERISH. I had never heard of this poem until I decided to design a treasury around the colors of green and gold.  As usual, I did a little research.  I was so happy to find this delightful, Pulitzer Prize winning poem.  It is so beautiful. You can learn more about it on Wikipedia which I feel is one of the best resources for good information on the internet.  Of course, I also had in mind the song, "Green Fields Kissed By The Sun."  It is another favorite of mine, a classic that I have included in a YouTube at the end.I hope you enjoy my Green Gold Treasury.  On my TAGT TEAM  this week we are featuring two shops as well as four birthdays.  I have spotlighted their items in my treasury link list .  I am sure you will fall in love with at least one of these golden green items...i did!

    Robert Frost has always been my favorite poet as well. He grew up not far from my own place here in Illinois. Having been a native to this area, it was easy to relate to his poetry :))
    I have enjoyed this very much :))
    Best,
    Robin
