This is a response poem to Robert Frost's Poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay".


Everything Lovely Will Stay

Nature's presence is bold,
Endurance in times of cold.
In bloom yields a flower;
No rain weakens power.
Petal subsides to petal.
Its radiance now to settle,
Tommorrow tops today.
Everything lovely will stay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is the original poem:

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.
