The story in short

Written by Robert Frost, this short poem shows how a small, unexpected moment in nature can transform one’s mood. The poet is in a sad, gloomy frame of mind when a crow, perched on a hemlock tree, shakes down a shower of snow dust onto him. This simple, accidental touch of nature changes his heart, lifting his depression and saving the rest of a day he had been regretting. Frost deliberately chooses a crow and a hemlock tree — both usually associated with sorrow, ill omen and poison — to show that joy and healing can come even from unlikely, ordinary sources. The poem teaches that we should value small moments and remain open to the quiet, restorative power of nature, which can change a bad mood into a hopeful one.
