Dust of Snow

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.

“At the sight of blackbirds…”

At the sight of blackbirds
Flying in a green light,
Even the bawds of euphony
Would cry out sharply.

– by Wallace Stevens, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird, 1923

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.
