Fly out of the sky,
Shake it out of the folds of the clouds,
Brown and bare floated into the forest,
Loneliness and emptiness scattered in the fields,
Soft and silent, flying slowly,
Snowflakes floated down.
Like a vague fantasy.
Suddenly crystallized into a strange story,
Just as anxiety is hard to hide,
Made a confession through a pale face,
The chaotic sky appeared.
Inner sadness.
This is a poem of the sky,
Record slowly with silent notes;
This is the secret of despair,
Trapped in the center of the clouds,
Now there are only fields and trees left.
Speak in a low voice

Longfellow, a modern American poet
Appreciate:
Longfellow is a romantic poet, but unlike other romantic poets who tend to "express", he thinks that the three tasks of a poet are "entertainment, inspiration and teaching", which is realistic.
From the standpoint of humanitarianism, he wrote a group poem "Slave" accusing slavery, and also imitated the Finnish epic "Ka Laivaara" and created the Indian epic "Song of the Sea of Warsaw" according to Indian legends, which was the peak of his creation.
Longfellow has both the lofty ideals of humanists and the sorrows of humanists. In this beautiful lyric poem "Snowflake", we can easily feel the mind of a humanist.
The sky is so vast, but it can't help the long-term stagnation of unrequited love. It can no longer accommodate this desperate secret. Ah, no matter how big the day is, it needs to be expressed, vented, confided and understood. As a result, a swirl of snow-poetry in the sky-fell to the ground like this. ...
The poet pinned his infinite worries on snowflakes, and all kinds of unsolvable troubles in the world were vented and purified in the snow in Wan Li, which crystallized into white and transparent sadness.
Yes, even sadness can be transformed into a strange magical beauty, as Hegel said in Aesthetics: "Even if pain is expressed by music, there should be a sweet tone that permeates the complaint, making it clear and making people feel that it is worthwhile to hear this sweet complaint."
Extended data:
Introduction to snowflake:
Snowflake is a poem by Longfellow in America. Snowflakes are composed of music, images and emotions, among which the poet's direct "teaching" is not seen, but it is even more crystal clear and white. The whole poem has three sections, and each section is a long sentence divided into six lines, just like a snowflake with six leaves. In the choice of words, poets also choose soft and silent pronunciation.
Snowflakes gently fly out of the embrace of the sky, which is a lyric poem of the sky-the sky is lyrical rather than a poet; Or, because of the poet's broad mind, his mind turned into the sky.
Longfellow (1807- 1882) is an American poet. His main works are Nightingale, Slave, Ivan Jilin, Song of Haiwarsaw, Christ, The Story of a Roadside Inn, etc.
