In the poems, Nothing Gold Can Stay and Abandoned Farmhouse, there are many similarities and differences. Some similarities are by, theme, mood , and imagery. Some differences are, figurative language, character, and rhyme scheme.
An example from both of the poems that are evidence to back up my thoughts ,that they are similar in theme is, in Nothing Gold Can Stay,the poem is telling you about change and how nothing can stay perfect forever. Lines that help me think that are, “Natures first green is gold. Her hardest hue to hold.” Those two lines mean that when you first get something it is perfect like gold, but when time goes by it is hard to hold on to.

A line from the poem that helps support my thought is when it says, “ Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour.” Those mean that everything is perfect and fun, until time goes by and it isn’t how it was before. It’s really sad when you think about it, like when you are playing with your new puppy, and then a few years later it can’t run around and play like it did. Another line that is an example of why the mood is sad, is when it says , “Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief.” When you read those lines it makes you think about nature and how leaves fall from trees . Well it is sad when you see a plant dying or falling apart, and it is sad when a season changes, for example, when you are having the best summer ever and then one day you hear your mom tell you that school starts the next day, that makes you sad . In Abandoned Farmhouse the lines that make the poem have a sad mood are, in all of the lines it talks about how the house is a mess and the place is just ruined. That would make me feel sad if my house was ruined. Also in the last paragraph when it tells you about how the toys were hanging and laying around, it is sad because if the child didn’t have toys when they left , it would make me feel sad that he or she didn’t have anyone or anything to play
