Following literary devices are used in the poem –

Imagery – Frost creates sense imagery. For example, “Nature’s first green”, “dawn goes down to day” and “leaf subsiding to leaf”
Personification – It is the major device of the poem because here everything inanimate including Nature is provided with human qualities. “Nature” is personified here.
Allusion – It is any kind of reference given in the work. Here, the poet alludes to the biblical Garden of Eden.
Metaphor – It is a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity. Here, the description of Nature is an extended metaphor for the transience which is natural to everything we call real for us.
Alliteration- It is the repetition of sound in the same line. i.e. “So dawn goes down to day.”
