Poem

Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost - 1874-1963

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.
สี เขียวแห่งแรกของธรรมชาติคือสี ทอง
ยากที่จะยากที่จะปกป้ องรักษา
ก่อนเปลี่ยนจากใบไม้คือดอกไม้
แต่แค่ชวั่ โมงเดียวเท่านั้น
ใบไม้ ร่ วงหล่น ผลัดใบ
สวนสวรรค์จมลงสู่ ความเศร้าโศก
ดังนั้นรุ่ งอรุ ณจึงตกไปในแต่ละวัน
ทองคำไม่มีอะไรอยูไ่ ด้มนั่ คง

Analysis
"Nature’s first green is gold," indicates nature's first green is the youth
because every living thing begins with youth.
"Her hardest hue to hold" represents that youth is very hard to keep because
they get older in age.
"Her early leaf's a flower," describes youth as innocent and beautiful like a
flower. Metaphorically, the writer is saying that the earliest leaves are as beautiful as
a flower. In other words, spring itself is lovely as a flower.
"Her early leaf" means the springtime blossoms last more than a mere hour.
Metaphorically, that early beauty endures for such a brief and fleeting time that it
could seem like it only really lasts for an instant.
"Then leaf subsides to leaf" symbolizes the child becoming an adult and
losing its childhood.
 "So Eden sank to grief," states that the person realizes that they are no
longer a child and that they must face the world all on their own.
"Nothing gold can stay" “Gold” is a symbol for all things beautiful,
important, and valued. The gold does not last forever. this is true of all things found
in nature. Trees, streams, oceans, mountains, and even the sun and stars: nothing is
constant.
Summary
This poem expresses the instability of life, such as life in youth, beauty,
everything found in nature is imperfect. Everything changes with time and
eventually fades away.
