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've always had a sense of what the poem is trying to say is: As when we are young, everything is new or "gold". We see things differently from others, more beautiful, leaving us in aw. Then, we grow, and we are wiser, experienced, so the colors fade, are dull, and we find nothing as what it used to be. We see all the same, as other elders, leaving it for another young one to one day gaze upon it as well.

.: Nothing Gold Can Stay :.
This poem is not about just one thing, but how beauty must end for us to cherish it because if beauty was permantent then we would not be able to appreciate it properly.
The garden of Edan was beautiful, a treaure. That was until Adam and Eve dissobeyed orders and were banished. After they left the graden 'sank to grief' which means that it just ended, or disappeared.
This poem is to tell people to enjoy the good things in life. But at the same time to remember that it must end, and to learn how to let go and move on, to make time for the next beautiful thing.
