OZYMANDIAS BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY
I met a traveler from an antique land
who said: two cast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown and wrinkled lip, and sneet of cold command tell that its sculptor well those passions read, which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless thing the hand that mocked them and the heart that fed, and on the pedestal these words appear: My name is Ozymandias king of kings look upon my works,ye mighty, and despair nothing beside remains round the decay of that colossal wreck boundless and bare the lone and level sand stretch far away
WHO IS THE SPEAKER? WHAT IS THE TONE? WHAT IS THE THEME? WHAT IS THE POEM ABOUT?
SECOND:
NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY BY ROBERT FROST
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 sand to grief
so dawn goes down to day
nothing gold can stay
