"Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost

 The poem is a very short poem with a total of 8 lines. Within those 8 lines a great story is told. While reading the poem a few times over I was able to pick up on a few key points. Just to mention one, the poem starts off by saying "Nature's first green is gold," Implying spring and it's first leafs, and the richness off it all. Gold represents wealth, thus the speaker can be trying to say that nature's green is worth just as much as gold. Many argue that money can't buy happiness, and that love for material objects will never bring "true happiness". As gold symbolises materialism it wont last for long and it will give us “fake happiness”. That is pretty much what I think the message of the speaker is.
