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.

-Robert Frost (also, Ponyboy)

I'd like to say I knew this before reading and watching The Outsiders, but i'd be a liar.
