Nothing
Gold Can Stay
by
Robert Frost
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.
By use
of analogy the third term in the poem takes on the
character of the first two thus
gold is green, flower is leaf and Eden is grief.
