Dust of Snow
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.
Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.

Who wrote the poem "Dust of Snow"?
Robert Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963)
Robert Frost was an American poet who was born in San Francisco, California. Frost’s life was marked by grief and loss. When he was 11, his father died of tuberculosis, leaving just eight dollars. Frost’s mother died of cancer when he was 26. Mental illness ran in his family. He and his mother suffered from depression, and his sister and his daughter were committed to mental hospitals. Using realistic depictions of rural life, his poems often examined complex social and philosophical themes. Frost’s first book was published at the age of 40, but he ended up winning four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry and becoming the most famous poet of his time.
"Dust of Snow" explanation
In the poem, the speaker describes a simple
yet beautiful scene in nature where a crow causes the dust of snow fall down on
him from the treetop. This simple event somehow changes the speaker’s (apparently
bad) mood. Using minimalistic approach, the poet is perhaps trying to show
nature’s pure beauty and curative power.
