“It sifts from Leaden Sieves”
It sifts from leaden sieves,
It powders all the wood.
It fills with alabaster wool
The wrinkles of the road

It makes an even face
Of mountain and of a plain-
Unbroken forehead from the east
Unto the east again

It reaches to the fence,
It wraps it rail by rail
Till it lost in fleeces;
It deals celestial veil

To stump and stack and stem-
A summer’s empty room
Acres of joints where harvest were,
Recordless, but for them

It ruffles wrists of posts As ankles of a queen
Then stills its artisans like ghosts,
Denying they have been.
 Paraphrase
The snow falls from the sky through the clouds like flour. It powders all the trees. It fills every cracks of the road with the white. It makes the mountain and the plain becomes flat land in white. As far as we can see is white from east unto the east again. The snow reaches the fence, and wraps it by rail until cannot be seen but white snow. The snow deals the sky layer. Coming noisy and full fill the farm acres of joints where harvest were, recordless but for them. The snows annoy the pole of posts as well turned of queen. Then stills its artisans and disappear in silence, denying they have been make an annoyance.
