Nature's first green is gold,
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The earliest green of new growth is described as gold rather than green: the freshest leaf shines like a precious metal. The line treats budding life as something rare and valuable, catching a first, luminous moment of colour. It compares nature's beginnings to treasure, praising them through a simple paradoxical turn.
