Snow falling
... The speaker views a snow-covered field as a deserted place. A blanker whiteness of benighted snow / With no expression, nothing to express. ... The snow is a white blanket that covers up everything living. ... To him there is nothing else around except for the unfeeling snow and his lonely thoughts. ... The snow throws its blanket of whiteness over everything and to him it is a feeling of numbness. ... He had let depression and loneliness creep into his life and totally take over like the snow had crept up on the plain and silently covered it. If he continues to let these feelings run his life, eventually everything would be snuffed out much like the snow does to nature. ... He will not see me stopping here / To watch his woods fill up with snow. ... Snow covers everything living and the cold seems to chill to the very soul at times. ... I could sit for hours and gaze at the blowing snow. ... Desert Places Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast In a field I looked into going past, And the ground almost covered smooth in snow, But a few weeds and stubble showing last. ... And lonely as it is that loneliness Will be more lonely ere it will be less-- A blanker whiteness of benighted snow With no expression, nothing to express.
