Nothing gold can stay"

by 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.

"the red wheelbarrow"

by william carlos williams

so much depends

upon

a red wheel

barrow

glazed with rain

water

beside the white

chickens.
