Frost said nothing gold could stay.
Nothing white can either.
White clouds soon turn into gray,
Billowing thunderheads.
Shirts get stains, and so do
Gloves, handkerchiefs, even teeth.
The pearly whites of smiling youth
Become discolored, broken, few.
Snow gives way to mud.
White bandages to blood.
Paper becomes yellowed with age,
Page by mouldering page.
The white dreams of childhood
Fade into gray and wither.
Nothing gold can stay.
Nothing white can either.
