Robert Frost wrote “Nothing Gold Can Stay” in 1923. It appeared in his collection New Hampshire, which won him his first of four Pulitzer Prizes (the most of any American poet). It’s composed in iambic trimeter, with heavy alliteration.
In a few deft strokes, the poem paints images of natural be...
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.
Nothing Gold Can Stay was written by Robert Frost.
