Summary:
Stanza - 1
The way a crow
School down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Hemlock tree
One day, the poet was in bad mood and he was walking near to the hemlock tree🌲. It's a poisonous tree. When the poet was standing under the tree, a crow happened to throw some dust of snow ❄️ on him. We didn't know where it fallen, whether it may be in his head or shoulder. But it was not crow's specific intension to do so. Unknowingly it happened. We don not know whether the crow was shivering with cold, landing , adjusting it's position on branch or taking off. But it happened.
Stanza-2
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had ruled.
Mostly his half of the day become worse. But when the dust fallen on him, his mood was totally changed. So the rest of the day was saved by the crow and hemlock tree.
