First Green

Toronto: where

 summer.2018: when

photo based

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.
