Nature is the theme

Robert Frost’s poems are extremely beautiful and deep in that he has a
great understanding of the human nature. This poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” has many different levels to it and can be interpreted many ways indeed. Frost has used the word nature to begin his poem...

The poem is based on the thought of nature’s life cycle and how it (nature) represents so much of our lives and always has.. To compare and contrast, Robert Herrick famous poem, "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time". He uses nature to convey the fleeting nature of time and express that we need to make the most of life while we may.

As for my opinion, to some people, God, death, reward, punishment, Heaven and Hell are mere illusions. Meanwhile to others, only death is certain, so they need not bother with things beyond their comprehension. Still to many others, they do believe in Divine presence and know of His teachings, but prefer to ignore it, hoping for a last-minute reprieve when they lay dying...

Frost and Herrick really appreciate God's creation and they lay their sincere gratttude through their poem's talents.
