Nothing gold can stay 岁月留金
Nature's first green is gold, 大自然的第一抹新绿是金,
Her hardest hue1 to hold. 也是她最无力保留的颜色.。
Her early leaf's a flower; 她初发的叶子如同一朵花,;
But only so an hour. 然而只能持续若此一刹那。
Then leaf subsides2 leaf, 随之如花新叶沦落为旧叶。
So Eden sank to grief. 由是伊甸园陷入忧伤悲切,
So down gose down to day, 破晓黎明延续至晃晃白昼。
Nothing gold can stay. 宝贵如金之物岁月难保留。
