Today i have read the poem Nothing Gold Can Stay. This is written by Robert Frost.

 

 

Nothing Gold Can Stay

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

 

 

This poem is talking about how there are very beautiful things in life, but all of them at one point pass away.

 

 'Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.'

 

This line is comparing everything good in life to a flower, and the very short life span it holds. The good things in life pass too quickly.

 

 

 

'Nature's first green is gold'

 

Here he is stating that green is just as valuable as gold. This is because no plant stays green forever, there will be a time where it has to whither away. I think RObert Frost really conveyed his message well through his well thought-out imagery.I am infering that Robert would like more time, because nothing gold can stay. It dosent last forever, i infer peom means that we need to make the best of what we have now, we never know how long we have it for. This whole poem sounds a little bit meloncholy, and bittersweet.

 

"So dawn goes down to day."

 

From the placement in the peom i can infer that he dosent want the day to end, He wants the flowers and green leafs to stay forever. Also in this peom he  uses rhymes like "gold,hold,stay,and day".

 

 

 

I think this picture personifies the first sentence.
