POETRY: “Nothing Gold Can Stay” • SKILL: Text Analysis
Analyzing Poetry
Follow the directions in the boxes. Check a dictionary for the definitions and an encyclopedia for the
allusion. (For now, ignore the circles and lines you see drawn on the poem.)
riefly explain this allusion.
B
What is Eden?
Nothing Gold Can Stay
By Robert Frost
Nature’s first green is gold,
2
Define hue.
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
4
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
6
Define subsides.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
8
Nothing gold can stay.
Section 2: Sound Devices
Write on the poem above to answer the questions in this section.
1. We circled the first set of rhyming words (gold and hold). Circle the others.
2. Alliteration is when two or more words that are near each other start with the same
sound. We’ve underlined the first case of alliteration (green and gold in line 1). Underline
two more.
3. Assonance is when two or more words that are near each other contain the same vowel
sound, as in the sentence “Jenny bent down and petted the hen.” We’ve double-underlined
two cases of assonance in the poem (nature and first in line 1, and her and early in line 3).
Double-underline two more.

Section 1: Definitions
POETRY: “Nothing Gold Can Stay” • SKILL: Text Analysis
Section 3: Line-By-Line
In this section, you will analyze the poem mostly one or two lines at a time. There are no “right”
answers to many of these questions; you just need to support your interpretation with text evidence.
Lines 1-4
5. The speaker says that nature’s first green “is gold.” What are some words, ideas, images, or
emotions that we associate with gold? Are these associations mostly positive or negative?
6. Considering your answer to question 5, what is the speaker saying about “nature’s first
green” when he calls it “gold”?
7. Think of another meaning for the first line. How could “nature’s first green” literally be gold
(the color)? Hint: Reread line 3.
8. In line 2, the speaker says that gold is nature’s “hardest hue to hold.” As it is used in this line,
what does hold mean?
9. In lines 3 and 4, the speaker says that nature’s early leaf is a flower that lasts only for “an
hour.” Do you think he means this literally—that the flower dies after one hour? If he
doesn’t mean it literally, what is the speaker saying here?
10. In your own words, briefly summarize what the speaker is saying in lines 1 to 4.

4. In line 1, what is “nature’s first green”? Hint: Think about what happens in the spring.
POETRY: “Nothing Gold Can Stay” • SKILL: Text Analysis
Lines 5-8
11. One could say that a flower grows into a leaf, or that a leaf replaces a flower, but in line 5,
12. Identify a word or phrase in line 6 and a word or phrase in line 7 similar in meaning to
subsides.
13. The title and last line of the poem state that “nothing gold can stay.” In lines 6 and 7,
what is “gold” that does not “stay”?
14. Consider the three things in the poem that change: a bud, Eden, and dawn. What do these
three things have in common?
Section 4: The Big Picture
Again, there is no “right” answer; you should answer according to your interpretation of the poem.
Just be sure to support your ideas with text evidence.
15. What message or idea about change does the speaker express in “Nothing Gold Can Stay”?
Explain, using text evidence to support your answer.

the poet uses the word subsides to describe the change from the early leaf (or flower) to the
mature leaf. How does this word choice affect the meaning or tone of this line?
