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. 
What is the central theme of this poem?

• Nature and man must get along
• Wonderful and beautiful things only last a short while
• Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful
• Nature and beauty are permanent.
