Question

The sky is low, the clouds are mean,

A travelling flake of snow
Across a barn or through a rut
Debates if it will go.

A narrow wind complains all day
How some one treated him;
Nature, like us, is sometimes caught
Without her diadem.

Answer 1

uhhh yeah

Step-by-step explanation:

The effect of the pauses creates a an imagery of winter day movement, like in the first stanza, it kinds of intimidating a snowflake in the air movement. The snowflake itself is debating if it goes through a barn or rut. I'm not sure where to go. Moreover, snowflakes do not travel straight down; instead, the wind pushes and pulls them. The stanza's first line is long, while others are shorter. This mimics the snowflake's back-and-forth motion. Similarly, the second stanza mimics the "narrow wind." The length and sound of the lines mimic the wind's hurling nature, which "complains all day."
