Answer 2

Answer:

To rue means to feel bad about something that happened or something you did because it had bad results. The poet had been feeling bad because something bad might have happened. In the poem Dust of Snow, the poet’s mood was transformed by a nature. As he was enjoying an evening walk on a wintry evening, a crow inadvertently threw some snow on him while he was passing under a tree. This uplifted the poet’s mood which had been melancholy for some personal reason.
