DUST OF SNOW
The poet is upset and sitting under the hemlock tree. Suddenly a crow sitting on the tree shakes the tree and the fine particles of snow from tree falls on the poet. The soft and cold touch of snow changes the poet’s mood from sad to happy. He starts feeling soothed and refresh. In this way a simple moment proves to be very significant and saves rest of the day of poet from being wasted and held in regret.
The black crow is commonly a symbol of death and fear.
Since the crow is not associated with goodness, it is ironic that in this poem, it is doing a good deed by shaking off the snow.
Robert Frost didn’t choose to use an oak, maple or pine tree. No, instead he chose the hemlock tree which is usually associated with poison and toxicity. Anyway, the beautiful snow that adorns the poisonous hemlock tree’s branches is shaken off by a scary crow.
Robert Frost uses the elements of the fearsome crow and poisonous Hemlock tree to do something good – shake the white, pure snow off the branches. This good act lifts the suicidal person’s spirits causing him to change his mind about killing himself. The small act causes the man to have an enlightened insight.
We have a poisonous Hemlock tree covered in pure, white snow and a man who is depressed, planning to kill himself and walking under the tree. At that precise moment, the black crow of death shakes the pure, good snow onto the man. All that goodness helps the man to change his mind about killing himself. Instead, he decides to live, forget the regret and sorrow to enable healing.
The poem, Dust of Snow by Robert Frost, reiterates that the little things in life can make huge changes in our future. It also shows that if we can take the hard times of life in stride, eventually something will happen to change our situation into happier times. The simple things we do for others can make all the difference. Just think about those random acts of kindness we do and how much they brighten a person’s day and sometimes change their future.
Noticing and appreciating all the small things in life will make our life happier. It will also cause us to have a spirit that is willing to change and therefore succeed.

The poem exemplifies Frost's use of tension between form, his language choices, and content, the narrative about the crow, the snow dust, and the rueful speaker. The black crow sits above, perhaps ominous as a sign or image, and the man stands below. "Dust" is not an idiosyncratic noun in this poem since weathercasters, using idiomatic English, will report a dusting of snow. Still, "snow dust" is an oxymoron. Dust is dry and not conventionally cold, while snow is wet and cold.
Furthering the poem's tension, the hemlock plant is the source of the poison Socrates used for his suicide. To many readers then, hemlock evokes death by poison. The crow is also associated with death, a belief from Celtic mythology, as is winter. The rhyming words at the end of the first and third lines, "crow" and "snow," create contrasts as well. One is black, the other white; one is a sign of death and the other, the result of an animal's natural movement.
One reading of the dusting of snow is to consider it a sort of baptism in the woods, a secular sacrament. It could also be an intimation of mortality, a shower of dust, echoing the biblical quote "dust you are and to dust you will return." Also, some part of the speaker's rueful day has been "saved"—another word with religious resonance.
The poem thus courts the sort of double meaning that Frost frequently pursues. Relief from a rueful day comes in the small sacrament of the gentle dusting of snow. The thoughtless, impudent gesture of the crow creates a lyric moment in the winter woods. Thoughts of his own mortality bring the speaker back from regret to a more positive view of life.
