I am the grass; I cover all.

And pile them high at Gettysburg
And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY

BY ROBERT FROST

Photo by Claudio.Ar

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.

Photo by seanmcgrath

Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.

Photo by harold.lloyd

The leaf subsides to leaf.

Photo by ecstaticist

So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.

Photo by David Paul Ohmer

Nothing gold can stay.
