Fire and Ice:

Fire and Ice Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

Fire and Ice Analysis:

Fire and Ice Analysis The poem is talking about how the world will end in two ways Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice Analysis:

Fire and Ice Analysis He uses fire to describe how desire brings passion, which is an obsession or an excitement and how it will destroy the world.

Fire and Ice Analysis:

Fire and Ice Analysis He also uses Ice to describe hate and how not getting along or having “peace” could also end the world. An example of that would be war. By not getting along and fighting would destroy the world

Nothing Gold Can Stay:

Nothing Gold Can Stay 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.

Nothing Gold Can Stay Analysis:

Nothing Gold Can Stay Analysis I think it that it is talking about nature and life It is talking about when something grows, it is beautiful and that it is different from many other things, like nature. Then the beautiful characteristic will disappear, but you will regret it when it disappears because you want to be “young” again to have that golden characteristic

Neither Out Far Nor In Deep:

Neither Out Far Nor In Deep The people along the sand All turn and look one way. They turn their back on the land. They look at the sea all day. As long as it takes to pass A ship keeps raising its hull; The wetter ground like glass Reflects a standing gull

Neither Out Far Nor In Deep (cont.):

Neither Out Far Nor In Deep (cont.) The land may vary more; But wherever the truth may be-- The water comes ashore, And the people look at the sea. They cannot look out far. They cannot look in deep. But when was that ever a bar To any watch they keep?

Neither Out Far Nor In Deep Analysis :

Neither Out Far Nor In Deep Analysis I think that it is saying that people are drawn more to the ocean, than land It doesn’t matter how far out you are or how deep you are in, they just like the water

Stopping by woods on a snowy evening:

Stopping by woods on a snowy evening Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it's queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year.

Stopping by woods on a snowy evening (cont.):

Stopping by woods on a snowy evening (cont.) He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there's some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep 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 .

Stopping by woods on a snowy evening Analysis:

Stopping by woods on a snowy evening Analysis I think that he is talking about what he thinks of nature. He enjoys nature and loves nature so much that he would stop in the woods and take a moment to enjoy it, but he has a while to travel before he can do that

The Pasture:

The Pasture I'm going out to clean the pasture spring; I'll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I shan't be gone long. -- You come too.I'm going out to fetch the little calf That's standing by the mother. It's so young, It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I shan't be gone long. -- You come too.

The Pasture Analysis:

The Pasture Analysis Again, I think he is talking about nature in this poem and how he wants nature to come with him to do his daily activities, like fetching the calf.
