Robert Frost: (1874-1963): was an American poet known for his realistic depictions of rural life and his use of everyday speech in his writing. Frost wrote about themes like nature, friendship, and the complexities of life, often using simple language that captures deep emotions. Frost's ability to explore profound ideas through relatable imagery makes him one of America's most celebrated poets.

Pg 77: Robert Frost: Poem

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.

"Nature's first green is gold,"

The first signs of spring, when nature starts to bloom, are beautiful, like gold.

"Her hardest hue to hold."

Early green color (new leaves) is difficult to keep. It doesn’t last long.

"Her early leaf's a flower;"

The first leaves that come out in spring are like flowers— fresh and beautiful.

"But only so an hour."

This beauty lasts for a very short time - like a flower.

"Then leaf subsides to leaf."

After a short period of beauty, the leaves become just regular leaves, losing their specialness.

"So Eden sank to grief,"

This line refers to the Garden of Eden, a symbol of paradise. Suggests that even perfect things can end in sadness or loss.

"So dawn goes down to day."

Just as dawn (the early morning) gives way to the day beautiful moments fade into ordinary ones.
"Nothing gold can stay."
Beautiful and precious moments don’t last forever; they fade away.
