This Robert Frost poem describes how nature's first signs of green are as brilliant as gold but are fleeting and short-lived. The poem notes how the green leaves of spring are as delicate as flowers at first but quickly fade, as did Eden when humanity fell from grace. The poem's message is that nothing as vibrant and beautiful as gold can last forever, as dawn must inevitably give way to day.

Natures first green is gold Her hardest hue to hold Her early leafs a flower But only so an hour Then leaf subsides to leaf So Eden sank to grief So dawn goes to day Nothing Gold can stay By Robert Frost Edited by: Kate Lossing
