This poem by Robert Frost describes how nature's beauty is fleeting. It notes that while nature's first green is gold, this color is difficult for it to maintain, as the early leaves that look like flowers only last for an hour before changing. The poem concludes that nothing golden can last, just as Eden fell from grace and dawn fades into day, representing the ephemeral nature of beauty in the natural world.

Her hardest hue to hold. -A Her early leaf's a flower; -B But only so an hour. -B Then leaf subsides to leaf, -C So Eden sank to grief, -C So dawn goes down to day -D Nothing gold can stay. -D
