Answer 2

'Dust of Snow' is a very short poem of 8 lines only. The full rhyme scheme of abab is clearly visible in the ending words of each line, like crow-snow, heart-part, etc.

It also uses symbolism in the poem, like snow symbolises joy and hemlock tree symbolises sorrow.

Assonance is also used as a literary device in the poem. For example, 'way' rhymes with 'day', with 'change' and 'saved' in between.
