Snake is one of D.H. Lawrence's best animal poems, written whilst he was living in Sicily. It explores the relationship between humans and one of the most feared reptiles on earth - a venomous snake.


The meeting of human and snake is very much a personal event, Lawrence himself taking lead role. He is the person at the water-trough when the viper appears. What makes the poem special is the way the speaker's observations are interwoven with internal thoughts and feelings - the content perfectly matches the form, which is sinewy free verse.
