"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so and hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay."

It's from the book called The Outsiders by S.E Hinton and the poem's by Robert Frost. What does it mean?
Sorry, it's "But only so an hour"
 
its saying that though nature is beautiful its greatest beauties are the quickest to fade, and that that fact is one of natures saddest and most unaviodable
