A Little Snow Was Here and There - meaning Summary
Constancy Amid Passing Time
The speaker recalls a meeting marked by scattered snow and the passing of decades. Despite time’s accumulation, the poem emphasizes what remains unchanged: a rose—symbolic of a person or feeling—that resists temporal and seasonal effects. Snow and summer are contrasted to show that certain impressions or affections remain impervious to time’s claims. The tone blends gentle memory with quiet wonder at continuity amid change.
