Dust of Snow by Robert Frost

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.

Soft Snow
by William Blake

I walked abroad in a snowy day;
I asked the soft snow with me to play;
She played and she melted in all her prime,
And the winter called it a dreadful crime.

Robert Frosts poems are quite simple, dealing with everyday situations and emotions, yet taking them to another level of exploration. He looks at aspects of nature and then converts them into symbols to use in his poems, thus making them completely relevant to our everyday lives and easy to make sense of.

Dust of Snow has as its main themes:

communication between nature and humans.
nature healing and helping with negative human emotions.
the significance of small natural events

Dust of Snow with its short neat form, rhyming lines and rhythmic beat is simplicity itself. It reflects the rather bleak, minimalist imagery.

There's the speaker, the man, under a tree. It's probably winter, there's snow on the tree, an evergreen pine called a hemlock, and a crow has happened to send some snow dust down on the man.

Whether it falls on to his head or down his neck is unknown because it's not really relevant to the poem. What is important is the way that crow makes it happen, but once again, the reader is left to imagine the bird's specific action.

Whether it be the crow preening, merely shaking, flying off, or landing, or readjusting its feet on a branch, somehow a light dusting of snow is the result, and it lands on the speaker.
