The title: The poem may be about seasons and especially about winter. It might be about the weather in winter and all the feelings and thoughts you feel during this part of the year.

The layout: There are three stanzas of 5 lines both.

The initial time: There are many simple words, but there are also more difficult words.

Impressions: While reading the poem I felt a sense of quiet and peacefulness Rhyme scheme: In the primary stanza the rhyme scheme is AABCA instead in the others it is AABCB.

Figures of speech: There are some enjambments: on between the last two lines of the first stanza, another one on the last three lines of the second one and the last one on the three final lines of the last stanza.

In general: The poem is about a landscape, without identifying the place. In the primary stanza the poem tells about the grey sky and the cold wind that blows and froze all, while the snow falls there is a robin, which sings alone. In the second stanza, the subject of the lines is the bright that illuminates the short days and makes interesting bright effects with the snow. In the last stanza, the poem is about the winter nights, where the fires are turned on to protect from the cold, one after the other light up the sky, over the landscape, which looks like a sea made of ice and the white moon floats over it, as a mute viewer.
