What dose the poem In chapter 5 for outsiders mean?

"Nature's first green" is a poem that appears in Chapter 5 of S.E. Hinton's _The Outsiders_. It is a short, simple poem about the beauty of the natural world. It is a poem about the transience of life and the inevitability of death, and how both are a part of nature's cycle. The poem is a metaphor for the journey of the characters in _The Outsiders_. Just as nature goes through cycles of growth, death, and renewal, so do the characters in the novel experience growth and change throughout the story. The poem also reflects the themes of innocence, loss, and identity that run throughout the novel.
