TO THE THAWING WIND by ROBERT FROST

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: COME WITH RAIN, O LOUD SOUTHWESTER!
Last Line: TURN THE POET OUT OF DOOR.
Subject(s): WIND;
COME with rain, O loud Southwester!
Bring the singer, bring the nester;
Give the buried flower a dream;
Make the settled snow-bank steam;
Find the brown beneath the white;
But whate'er you do to-night,
Bathe my window, make it flow,
Melt it as the ices go;
Melt the glass and leave the sticks
Like a hermit's crucifix;
Burst into my narrow stall;
Swing the picture on the wall;
Run the rattling pages o'er;
Scatter poems on the floor;
Turn the poet out of door.
