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.
