Reread "Nothing Gold Can Stay." 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.
Which words best help the poet convey a mood of thoughtfulness and sadness?
hardest hue to hold
first green is gold
O only so an hour
early leaf's a flower
