至美难存 (Nothing gold can stay)
至美难存
麦克译
初绿为金
其色奇珍
新叶如花
失之转瞬
嫩叶枯萎
伊甸沉沦
黎明破晓
至美难存
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963)
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs 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.
