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.
"Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold."
S.E. Hinton The Outsiders
Simply stunning array of colours.
