"Snow-Bound" by John Greenleaf Whittier is a narrative poem written in the mid to late 19th century. This piece belongs to the genre of poetry and reflects the themes of nature and familial warmth during a harsh winter storm. Whittier, a prominent figure in American literature, captures the essence of a snow-covered landscape and the intimate setting of a family home, illustrating the beauty and challenges of winter life. The poem unfolds the experience of a family snowed in at their farmhouse, recounting the preparations and activities that accompany the storm. As the snow engulfs their surroundings, the household engages in various domestic chores, embraces storytelling, and recalls shared memories. The poem captures profound themes of love, loss, and the passage of time, ultimately reflecting on the memories of loved ones who have passed while celebrating the bond among those who remain. Whittier’s evocative imagery and poignant language create a nostalgic atmosphere, making "Snow-Bound" not just a depiction of winter but a meditation on family and remembrance.
