A Patch of Old Snow by Robert Frost
Performed by
Robert FrostAbout
The narrator notices an old newspaper and at first believes that it must be a patch of old snow that has blown into the corner and been flattened by the rain. The flecks of dirt in the snow are similar to the fine print of a newspaper, which supports the narrator’s initial conclusion.
A Patch of Old Snow Annotated
There’s a patch of old snow in a corner
That I should have guessed
Was a blow-away paper the rain
Had brought to rest.
It is speckled with grime as if
Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I’ve forgotten––
If I ever read it.
