Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Snow-Flakes"

from The Daily Poem · host Sean Johnson

New-fallen snow can be a kind of blank canvas for the poet. In yesterday’s poem, Stevenson wrote over it in whimsical metaphor and simile; in today’s, Longfellow finds the reflection of his own troubled heart. Happy reading. This is a public episode.
