Nothing Gold Can Stay                                             韶华易逝

   By Robert Frost                                              罗伯特·弗罗斯特

Nature’s first green is gold,                                       自然的新绿是金，

Her hardest hue to hold.                                            奈何最是难留。

Her early leaf’s a flower,                                          自然的初芽如花，

But only an hour.                                                       绽放却难恒久。

Then leaf subsides to leaf,                                       叶叶凋萎，片片散落，

So Eden sank to grief,                                               伊甸园沉入悲伤，

So dawn goes down to day.                                       黎明沉沦为白昼。

Nothing gold can stay.                                                韶华流逝如飞。
