It sifts from Leaden Sieves
It powders all the Wood
It fills with ‘Alabaster Wool’
The Wrinkles of the Road –
What is the Alabaster Wool referenced in these lines?
O the coats of woodland animals
O white gravel used to fill the ruts in the old road
O cloth that the speaker weaves in her grief
O snow, collecting in fluffy clumps
