【五律】英譯漢Nothing gold can stay

初綠著金黃，衣鮮難久長。

如花開麗色，轉瞬去時光。

身化尋常葉，悲生伊甸鄉。

陰陽相替速，貴命黯神傷。

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Robert Frost 1874 – 1963

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.
