Now that our speaker has told us that nature is gold before it's green, he goes on to say that gold is the hardest hue, or color, for nature to hold, or keep. So the first color we see in spring doesn't stick around very long.
The idea of nature having an easy or hard time holding onto something is an example of personification. And not only is nature personified here, it's actually made into a female figure.
You know what else we notice about this line? Check out all those H sounds. That's some major alliteration right there. And it this short line, all those rapid-fire H sounds right in a row force us to slow down and really ponder over the meaning.
Then there's the rhyme. Hold rhymes with gold, which means we've got a rhymed couplet here.
And since these lines have the same number of syllables, we're gonna go ahead and assume there's a meter in play, too. In fact, there is—iambic trimeter, to be precise. Be sure to click on over to our "Form and Meter" section for more.
