Item 3 Read the line from the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay." Nature's first green is gold, What is the meaning of the metaphor in
this line? Plants are yellow before they are green. Nature goes through many changes. The first days of spring are the best days. Gold is a better color than green.
It means that childhood isn't forever. "Nature's first green is gold." It means that when something is new, which is referring to childhood, means that when we are kids, we were all happy and innocent. But now as we grow older, we start to see the real world and how bad it is.
