Most of my students would have come across this poem one time or another. It's in the literature text The Outsiders. This poem more or less carries the idea behind the story.
Nothing Gold Can Stay - 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.
I'm still reading into the meaning of this poem. I get the gist of the underlying idea and it's amazing how something can make such sense and be so beautifully crafted.
