| The Frost Farm, Derry, New Hampshire |
Although we all think of him as a New England poet,
did you know that Robert Frost was born in San Francisco, California on 26
March 1874? His father was a Southern sympathizer during the Civil War, and so
he was named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Frost’s roots run deep in
the Granite State. He is a descendant of Nicholas Frost who arrived in New
Hampshire in 1634. You can read more
about his ancestry at my previous blog post HERE. http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2009/12/robert-frost-derry-resident.html
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.
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.
