Her Early Leafs a flower

Shagbark Hickory leaf









NATURES FIRST GREEN IS GOLD



Natures 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.


Then dawn goes down to day,


Nothing gold can stay.



Robert Frost




This is not just a nature poem, but tells of the order


of nature. Comparing it with the natural process by which the cycle of life is completed.
