Help me with this poem! pls

i having a problem to understand this poem..
can anyone help me..
i really need your help..
this is 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."

I really appreciate for your help..
thanks!

"first green is gold"-- the first green of spring is the most precious/wonderful
"so Eden sank to grief"-- so Adam and Eve were eventually driven from their perfect garden
"nothing gold can stay"-- nothing is forever; all is flux; the lovely things of life are evanescent.
