    The poem describes how the poet was in a foul mood until a crow shook snow from a hemlock tree, causing dust of snow to fall on the poet. This small natural event changed the poet's mood and saved part of the day, which had been regretted. The catalyst for the change in mood was not the snow itself, the tree, or what happened that day, but specifically the way the crow shook down the dust of snow. The poem's theme is how small, natural occurrences in nature can impact and heal human emotions.

    DUST OF SNOW

    BY ROBERT FROST
    Sometimes our foul mood
    can narrow the world,
    until it seems like our
    problems are the only
    things we are focusing on .
    The way the crow
    Shook down on me
    The dust of snow
    From the hemlock tree

    Has given my heart


    A change of mood
    And saved some part
    Of a day I had rued
    Frost in this poem gives us next to no details
    about what happened that day.
    -What was he doing in the snow?
    -Why was he in such a bad mood?
    THE CROW IS NOT WHAT LIFTED HIS MOOD.
    THE HEMLOCK TREE WAS NOT THE REASON.
    THE SNOW WAS NOT THE REASON EITHER.
    CATALYST in the change of the poet’s mood is the
    WAY THAT THE CROW SHOOK DOWN THE DUST
    OF SNOW.
    Theme :

    Communication between nature


    and humans
    Nature healing and helping with
    negative human emotion.
    The significance of small natural
    events.
    •The message is clear enough. Sometimes
    seemingly insignificant natural events do
    bring about change. Being outdoors in
    nature, with all its unpredictability, can
    benefit anyone, anywhere at anytime.
    The way the crow
    Shook down on me
    The dust of snow
    From the hemlock tree

    Has given my heart


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