The reference of albatross by DH Lawrence in poem snake is an allusion to the poem The Rime of Ancient Mariner where the mariner kills albatross and suffer due to his act.here in poem snake, poet compares mariner's act  to  that of his act of throwing clumsy log at the creeping snake.
the poet feels the same feeling of pettiness like the mariner for his act that was against the nature.

hope it helps!!
