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.

When Hosea in the Bible tells similes and metaphors about Israel-what will become of Israel?
All the similes and metaphors were intended to illustrate the serious condition of Israel at the time in which Hosea prophesied. His warnings, if not heeded would eventually lead to judgment upon the Northern Kingdom to which his message was urgently addressed.
Since the nation in the north did not heed the message the resultant judgment came in the form of the defeat by and resultant captivity under the Assyrians, noted for their cruelty. The Assyrians also followed their usual habit of taking many thousands of people captive as slaves, most of these, if any, never to return to their land.
