Read the poem "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. Which word best matches the meaning of the word "gold" in line 1?

Trinity Delgado · Answer 2

The word that matches the meaning of the word "gold" in the first life is nature's "first green".

Explanation

Through a poem of only eight lines, Robert Frost's 'Nothing gold can stay' conveyed a significant message through metaphors.

Here the word 'gold' is used for 'first green' has nothing to do with the color comparisons instead he shows that nature's first green budding leaf during the spring season is equivalent to the value of sight of gold.

But with time this green fades away.
