Explanation:
The subject of the poem is life. When you look at it in depth, its entirety is a metaphor for the passing of life. Nature's first green is gold (the birth of a child, or new life), her hardest hue to hold (innocence passes fast with life, no matter how hard we try to hold on to it). Her early leaf's a flower; but only so an hour (again with the quick passing of time for life.) The leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief (death at the end of someone's life and the mourning that comes with it, if only a second to the hour of life), so dawn goes down to day (mourning is over, and the days continue after that someone passes and everyone has mourned). Nothing gold can stay (life is valuable, like gold, and vanishes much in the same way).

If this is for Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief chapter 19, "We Find Out the Truth, Sort of," when they are in Hades thrown room then this scene shows that the friends are willing to sacrifice for each other for the happiness and safety of the others. This also shows the trust that the friends have for one another. Percy had been accused of taking the master bolt, and when it was found in his backpack, both Annabeth and Grover knew and trusted Percy enough to know that he had not taken it. Towards the end of the chapter Percy leaves his mom behind in the underworld with Hades. Both Annabeth and Grover try to persuade Percy to let them stay in the underworld so Percy can have his mom, but Percy declines and takes Annabeth and Grover with him back to the surface.
