Nothing Gold Can Stay poem by Robert Frost printed on handmade paper with an original yellow gold autumn tree watercolor image by artist Patricia Shaw.
The poem says:
Nothing Gold Can Stay
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.
You might recognize this poem from a literature class or from The Outsiders (Stay Gold!). The poem describes how nature's beauty, like a flower or the first green of leaves, is fleeting. It suggests that nothing lasts forever. This would be a thoughtful gift for anyone experiencing a loss or transitioning to a new season of life.
The words are printed in a typewriter font on handmade cotton rag paper with deckle edges. The color of the paper is a natural, unbleached white but may occasionally have tiny speckles of random color from other fibers mixed in. Size varies slightly because of the imperfect nature of handmade paper, but will be roughly 5" x 7", 8" x 10", or 11" x 14" based on your selection.
