Then, considering such elements as imagery, figurative language, and tone, write a well-organized essay which you analyze how Frost explores the nature of change. 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. 5 So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. Along the Winding Road By Valerie Beth Oualline I am not where I thought I’d be Or where I wished to go, But surely Fate has taken me Along this winding road. I once saw many flashing lights, Excitement everywhere, Not open skies and quiet nights Or simple country fare. But grander is this little place Than I thought it could be. With all its charm and Southern grace, This place somehow suits me. The stars as bright as city lights, The air as fresh as Spring, The open sky that somehow might Enchantment with it bring. The wind that rustles through the trees And sings an Autumn tune Is just the melody I need To beat the Winter blues. The moonlight that illuminates And dances on the lake— It fills my heart and fascinates; My Spirit is awake. Though I’m not where I thought I’d be Or where I wished to go, I’m grateful Fate has taken me Along this winding road. Theme Statement: Life often brings about unexpected journeys and destinations, but embracing the unexpected may also lead to unexpected happiness. Poetic Rationale: I chose to write this poem as a ballad, composed of quatrains with an ABAB rhyme scheme and ballad meter (alternating lines in iambic tetrameter and iambic trimeter). Frost’s poems always follow a set rhyme scheme, and he loves to play with form and meter, though none of the Frost poems I chose are written in ballad meter. Like Frost, I elevate natural imagery and emphasize simplicity with my diction. The repetition in the first and last stanza is characteristic of Frost’s style, especially in the poems I chose to analyze.
