  13. A Poem to Reconsider…“Nothing Gold Can Stay” (p. 15 in your packet) 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 dayNothing gold can stay

  14. Three T’s for “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost • THEME: In this poem, Frost is saying that all good things must end. By describing the transition between dawn and day, Frost illustrates that life is ephemeral (not lasting forever). • TONE: This poem is somewhat bittersweet. While the poem begins on a positive note with a description of the beauty of nature, it loses its positivity when we learn that this beauty will not last forever. This poem is depressing, a common characteristic during the Modernist period. • TECHNIQUE: This poem is only one stanza and uses end rhyme. The language is simple yet descriptive enough to paint a clear image in the reader’s mind. In this poem, Frost uses alliteration such as “Her hardest hue to hold” and “So dawn goes down to day”. This device is important because it helps to give the poem a nice “flow”. Also, Frost utilizes personification when he refers to nature as “Her”. This is important because Frost uses nature as a symbol for the inevitability of life’s end and the personification of nature helps to convey the poem’s message.
