Nothing+Gold+Can+Stay+Analyzation

The main idea of Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost is that nothing good ever lasts. The poet uses the idea of a spring flower as a metaphor for this idea. The flower is gold and beautiful but the flower doesn't last long. He also uses the phrase "her hardest hue to hold" her refers to mother nature and the hue he is referring to is gold. The first line of the poem says that even though the first bud is green it is actually gold, a sign that winter is over.
