A PATCH OF OLD SNOW by ROBERT FROST

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE'S A PATCH OF OLD SNOW IN A CORNER
Last Line: IF I EVER READ IT.
Subject(s): SNOW;
There's a patch of old snow in a corner
That I should have guessed
Was a blow-away paper the rain
Had brought to rest.

It is speckled with grime as if
Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I've forgotten --
If I ever read it.
