Poems by Robert Frost

One of my biggest wishes in life is to be able to read more poetry and understand it. For the longest time, I stayed away from all kinds of poetry cause I was force-fed so many Ottoman poets. And then I discovered Robert Frost. The exact book I am excerpting from doesn't seem to exist in amazon, so here's a book that has Robert's Frost's Collected Poems. These are my three favorite poems of his:

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf is 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.

Dust Of Snow
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

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.

Read him, he's amazing.
