Nothing Gold Can Stay is a poem by Robert Frost. Read the poem. Then, respond to the question that follows.


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.


"Eden" is a biblical allusion. It references the garden in which the first man and woman (Adam and Eve) lived. It is described as beautiful and perfect. A snake tempts Eve to eat fruit from a forbidden tree in the garden, and after she and Adam eat the fruit, they are expelled from the beautiful place because they disobeyed God. In a short response of 2–3 sentences, explain why the author used this allusion and how it affects the connotation and meaning of this section of text.
