'Cross of Snow' Summary
The poem opens with the speaker standing in a snow-covered field, where he encounters a cross made of snow. The cross becomes a powerful symbol of the loss he has suffered, and he reflects on the memories of his wife and the happiness they shared. As the poem progresses, the speaker's grief gradually transforms into a sense of acceptance and hope. He finds solace in the beauty of the natural world and in the enduring power of love. Ultimately, The Cross of Snow is a testament to the human capacity for resilience and the transformative power of memory.Book Details
