The way a crow
Shook down on me

From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had ruled.
- Robert Frost
From the starting line of the poem, we can see the word "crow". Basically the pleats used sparrow, parrots etc.., in their poem. These kinds of birds were used for expressing the good sing. But it was very rare to use "crow" in their work. Because it was considered as the bad sign. So we came to know that he was in bad mood.
To stress it again he gave the word "hemlock tree". In ancient days, it was considered as the poisonous tree. By these two words we can be concluded that he was in very bad mood.
With that sad mood he was under the hemlock tree, the crow shook the tree. Because of it the dust of snow dropped from the tree and fallen into his body. That time, his whole mood was changed into very happy.
So he indirectly he informed that nothing was bad sing in nature. Nature have the ability to heal anything in the world. The snow was very tiny particle, but it changed the rest of his day as happier.
In this poem he spoken about the nature power and relationship between nature and human
