Read Nothing Gold Can Stay , BY ROBERT FROST

What is the effect of the speaker's choice to make the title and the last line the same? Do you wish it had a different title? What might that be? Answer each and every part.

Answer:

The title and the last line of the poem being the same reinforces the phrase as the main theme and makes it all that much powerfull.

Step-by-step explanation:

As gold refers to youth, uses nature and The Garden of Eden as a metaphor about how nothing, no matter how precious, can last forever.

I wouldn´t change the title, but a good alternative could be simply the word "Gold", as the main reference in the poem: youth as meant to demise.
