One icy morning I looked out my window
& saw the most beautiful crow flying in the snow
I watched it land in a very icy tree.
Dust of Snow, by Robert Frost
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

(Rue means 'sorrow or regret' so "Of a day I had rued" means a day I regretted having.)
