Robert Frost - "Nothing Gold Can Stay"

"Nothing Gold Can Stay"

I believe that Robert Frost was trying to say that beautiful things can even turn ugly with time. In Spring, Nature starts as green but with time (in the Fall) everything dies and changes color. He talks of how 'Eden sank to grief' and that shows that happiness turns to sadness with time. I see symbolism in the line 'Her early leaf's a flower', he talks as if Nature is a person and how everything starts beautiful.
