    DUST OF SNOW

    -Robert Frost
    DUST OF SNOW
    The way a crow
    Shook down on me

    From a Hemlock tree

    Has given my heart


    A change of mood
    And saved some part
    Of a day I had rued
    VOCABULARY

    disturbed or upset
    Hemlock: a poisonous plant with
    small white flowers
    Rued : held in regret
    IMPORTANT
    POINTS

    The poet was sitting under a snow covered hemlock tree which is
    poisonous.
    A crow alighted on the tree and and mass of snow flakes started
    falling on the poet who was sitting under the tree.
    The images of crow and the hemlock tree are quite ordinary.

    Before this the poet was in a depressive mood.
    But this simple act of a crow throwing flakes of snow had a
    positive impact on him.
    The fall of snow over him changes his mood and mental state.
    It lifted his mood
    The day was otherwise not favourable for him.
