A voice said, Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth.
Robert Frost
I know this one; it's pretty short. It's so beautiful though, and completely true.
I wrote a poem on wattpad, heavily inspired by this, and the poem, '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.
Robert Frost
I think this one is absolutely beautiful, but so sad. I want to learn it.
I love Robert Frost's poems, they're so beautiful. But I think the two most famous ones, 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening' and 'The Road Not Taken' are a bit overrated. They're good, but I far prefer the two above, they speak to me so much more.
