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 love the most these lines:
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to griefThis poetry is pure gold. You are reaching that distillation that makes of an emotion a true poetic experience.
