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
what are some different meanings that can be seen in the poem?
does the poem sound upsetting or encouraging to you?
{i need this info for a project i am doing}
thanks!

The last part "nothing gold can stay" is encouraging I think, its like nothings going to stay forever so make the most of it while you have it.

Aha, I had to do something with this last year because we were reading 'The Outsiders' is that why you are doing it?
Well this poem is pretty much saying that happiness doesn't last forever...I know that sounds really depressing but its true.
Like a sunset, it's so pretty while it last, but it doesn't last too long does it?
Yeah, pretty much just means happiness does not last forever.

I think it mean's that nothing lasts forever and all good things must come to an end. Life is very quick. But just like the seasons, though good things must end new things will be born from the bad.

I see it as nothing can stay the same forever, no matter how much you want it to. For example, the same way a flower must turn into a leaf, a child must grow up into an adult.

Ah, one of my favorite Poems. Basically, it translates to nothing good lasts forever. Also featured in the book "The Outsiders".

its says the Good things don't last for a long time. that's why we should cherish it while we have it.
the message is basically dedicated for the girls since it mentioned "Eden" and "her". and most girls would love to receive gifts from their lovers.
