This poem by Robert Frost describes how nature's beauty is fleeting. It notes that nature's first green is gold but this is only for a short time, as an early leaf is like a flower that lasts only an hour. The poem expresses that just as Eden sank into grief and dawn fades into day, nothing that is gold can last forever.
