Which word best illustrates the mood of the poem?

Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost
Nature's first green is GOLD
Her hardest hue to hold
Her early leafs 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

Answer:

I'm making a assumption that the poem intends that, nothing gold can stay. like a leaf eventually will die and a tree will wither away and the sun will turn into the moon, basically nothing stays the same, eventually time will go forward and things will change. makes sense?
