A four-compartment wooden box holds green buds, a peach, a red maple leaf and a frosted pine sprig. — Original artwork

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.
