  11. Scan these lines Nothing Gold Can Stayby Robert FrostNature'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.

  12. Identify the sound devices Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. (consonance ) His house is in the village though;He will not see me stopping here (assonance)To watch his woods fill up with snow. (alliteration)My little horse must think it queerTo stop without a farmhouse near (assonance)Between the woods and frozen lake (consonance) The darkest evening of the year.He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. (consonance)The only other sound's the sweep (alliteration)Of easy wind and downy flake.The woods are lovely, dark and deep.But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.
