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 1

To help you out just say it was a very poetic poem and the line that stuck out to me was the line where it says “ So Eden sank to grief” then to explain say that you felt a connection when it said Eden sank to grief meaning that he was so sad about something that he fell into despair then for what does the line make you think about just say it makes me think about either a personal feeling or something else
