Description:

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.

Wherein Gabriel takes his rage out on his wings. Years later, Sam helps him deal with the repercussions.

Notes:

Inspired by Robert Frost's Nothing Gold Can Stay, obviously. I headcanon Gabriel's wings as gold, so the moment I re-discovered this poem, it got me thinking.
