Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost

Natures 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.

Rest easy Norm, you were a mountain of a man. The land shakes when a mountain crumbles and the landscape is forever changed.
