What is the literal meaning of “Nothing Gold Can Stay”? Write a brief summary of the poem (three to four sentences). Use examples from the text in your response.

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.

Answer:

something around the basis of nature is beautiful but will not last forever and that everything will die off eventually

Explanation:

Answer:

The poem is about change and momentary existence. It says the green of spring is actually gold. This precious time is fleeting; it is Nature’s “hardest hue to hold.” This idea of not being able to hold on to things is repeated throughout the poem. The third and fourth lines of the poem discuss how a flower lasts only for a short time. In the final two lines, the poem discusses how dawn is brief before turning into day.
