Stanza Of The Poem Third Stanza
966 wordsThis poem was very hard to make an argument for to tell what it means. The poem deals with the idea of depression, hurt, weighted choices, and death.

She uses the idea of winter to represent darkness, the comparison of the weight of a choice the heft of Cathedral tunes.
