The first line of the poem contains the phrase “green is gold,” which has the structure of a metaphor. this metaphor links two different colors. what is the symbolic meaning of the colors green and gold? what does this metaphor say? 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.

Because the word green comes after the word first and the color green often suggests plant growth in the natural world, this reference to green suggests the early stages of growth in the cycle of life. When the speaker says that “green is gold,” he means that it is precious like the metal gold, which is highly valued because it’s scarce. So, the budding stage of life, or the “first green,” is precious.
