DUST OF SNOW Dust OF Snow is a beautiful short poem written by Robert Frost. This poem tells that even a simple moment has a large significance. The poet has mentioned crow and hemlock tree in this poem. Crow signifies his depressive and sorrowful mood and hemlock is a poisonous tree. Both these signify that the poet was not in a good mood and so he describes the dark, depressive and bitter side of nature to present his similar mood. The poet says that once he was in a sad, depressive mood and was sitting under a hemlock tree. A crow, sitting on the same tree, shook off the dust of snow or small particles of snow that remain on the surface after the snowfall, on the poet. This simple action changed the poet's mood. He realised that he had just wasted a part of his day repenting and being lost in sorrow. But the change in his mood made him realise that he should utilise the rest of the day in some useful activity. His sorrow was washed away by the light shower of snow dust. His spirit was revived and he got ready to utilize the rest of the day. Rhyme scheme: abab Imagery: i) a crow scattering snow from hemlock tree ii) dust of snow falling on the poet ALLITERATION: Alliteration is the occurrence of the same sound that is used in the beginning of the closely placed words: i) has given my heart( h,h) ii) And saved some part( s,s) SYMBOLISM: Symbolism is the use of symbols to signify ideas by giving them symbolic meaning that is different from their literal meaning. Examples: The poet has used the symbols of crow and hemlock tree to show the emotions like dejection, gloom and depression.
