Like Brooms of Steel - meaning Summary
Winter's Small Domestic Scene
The short poem presents a small domestic winter scene after a storm. Snow and wind have cleared the street, sunlight offers weak warmth, and silence is imagined as a rider moving through the hush. A bird and the personified silence pass the house while one apple in the cellar remains, quietly singled out as the sole playful presence. The tone is observant, intimate, and quietly detached.
