 The Poem:
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
 About the poem:
• The poem describes a very simple happening in
very simple words. It tells us that sometimes
even a small incident may prove to be of a larger
significance.
• The poet is upset in the beginning of the poem
but a small incident of falling of snow changes
his mood totally. In the end of the poem the poet
feels relaxed and thankful to the nature for saving
his day from being wasted.
