For the Morton High School Symphonic winds on the occaision of their first performance at the Illinois Music Educators All State Convention
Based on the following poem by Robert Frost.
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 down goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
~Robert Frost
