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.

Except when sea-fog laid it down,
And I was one of the children told

Appeared like god in the sunset sky,
But I was one of the children told
Some of the dust was really gold.

Robert Frost

Robert Frost

Such was life in the Golden Gate:
Gold dusted all we drank and ate,
And I was one of the children told,
'We all must eat our peck of gold.'
