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.

Nothing Gold Can Stay relates to my theme because Robert Frost wrote about how nature, or "gold", in life can not stay. The poem elaborates on the transience of nature, since it describes how nature's first green only lasts for a short period of time. Also, I believe he had compared gold as the beauty in nature. Thus, people should treasure nature, for it is fleeting and beautiful.
