Snowshoeing Song

Snowshoeing Song

by Arthur Weir

“Snowshoeing Song,” published in A Victorian Anthology, 1837–1895, captures the essence of a winter pastime enjoyed by many Canadians. Through its vivid imagery and descriptive language, the poem transports the reader to a breathtaking winter landscape, where the speaker embarks on a snowshoeing adventure. As the speaker glides through the snow-covered trails, they revel in the beauty of their surroundings, observing the intricate patterns formed by snow crystals and the playful antics of woodland creatures. The poem not only celebrates the joys of snowshoeing but also reflects on the historical significance of this traditional mode of winter travel in Canada.
