Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost

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 today.
Nothing gold can stay.


The poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost is about the plants changing throughout the season. This poem has a rhyme scheme for example:

An example of a metaphor in this poem is "So dawn goes down today." because dawn cannot actually go down. The words "Her" and "So" are repeated giving an example of repitition. This poem is an extended metaphor comparing the plant when it blooms and when it dies because of it's the end of the season. This is a poem that can have more than one meaning.
