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. Kay 16.12.2004 02:14 Gosh, I love Frost's works. He uses such amazing imagery and symbolism, even in such a compacted poem. "So Eden sank to grief . . ." So pretty. -Kay ?
