  • Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert FrostNature's

    dawn goes down to day.Nothing gold can stay.

    see me stopping here (assonance)To watch his
    woods fill up with snow. (alliteration)My little
    horse must think it queerTo stop without a
    farmhouse near (assonance)Between the woods and
    frozen lake (consonance) The darkest evening of
    the year.He gives his harness bells a shake To
    ask if there is some mistake. (consonance)The
    only other sound's the sweep (alliteration)Of
    easy wind and downy flake.The woods are lovely,
    dark and deep.But I have promises to keep,And
    miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go
    before I sleep.
