This photo, which I took last April, shows both the early "first green" and the gold remnants of fall, so suited to this poem by Robert Frost.
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.
This reading is from A Poem for Every Autumn Day: A Light In Dark Times, with Helena Bonham Carter, Tobias Menzies, and Jameal Westman, joined by Allie Isiri. Directed by Paul Weiland this anthology was for the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

A poem I'm not familiar with. A lovely image.
