Answer 2

These words are taken from the poem of dust of snow.

Explanation:

The poet was feeling dismay and sadness. The dust of snow changed his mood. Now he was feeling joyful.

• Crow is represented by the Frost as dark, dense, foreboding and black.
• Hemlock trees are represented as the poisonous tree to resemble the sadness.
• The dust of snow is represented by the freckle of snow.

Frost has used the nature in the poem in very negative manner.
