Analysis of "The Meadow"

In "The Meadow," Kate Knapp Johnson uses imagery and a depressed tone to show the audience the image of a girl daydreaming out the window. The line, " I wanted to know just one true thing," shows that maybe the speaker in the poem just wanted to think about one thing while she daydreamed but her mind wandered to so many things that she didn't even notice how much time had passed. The image of, "two inches of snow," that had fallen while she was looking out the window shows that time has passed since she began thinking. Through the imagery, the reader is able to relate to the concept of letting your mind wander.
