A SNOWFLAKE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH

Poet Analysis

First Line: ONCE HE SANG OF SUMMER
Last Line: T IS WINTER ALL THE YEAR!
Subject(s): WINTER;
ONCE he sang of summer,
Nothing but the summer;
Now he sings of winter,
Of winter bleak and drear:
Just because there's fallen
A snow-flake on his forehead.
He must go and fancy
'T is winter all the year!
