Read “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost. What is the literal meaning of the poem?


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.

ASunset and sunrise are the shortest parts of the day.

BMany different colors exist in the natural world.

CThe elements one notices in the natural world do not last long.

DThe color of a leaf changes depending on the time of day.
