金贵的东西都不久在

大自然的初绿是金，
是她最难留住的绿茵。
破芽的叶宛如花冠，
但晃不过一个钟点。
随即降级成了叶子，
所以，伊甸园沉入了悲泣，
所以，黎明被白昼淘汰。
金贵的东西都不久在。

Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs 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.
