While in other poems based on nature, we come across birds such as nightingales or sparrows. Frost has used a crow in this poem. A crow can be associated with something dark, black, and threatening. That is why other poets usually mention singing nightingales or beautiful white doves in their poems.

1. Generally, poets take the birds and trees which are known for their beauty and
good qualities like peacock, parrot, cuckoo, mynah and trees full of beautiful
flowers and fruits, etc. But here Frost has taken a totally different approach. He
chose a crow, which is not often used in poems. Crow is black in colour with very
harsh voice and is believed to be a symbol of bad omen. Thinking of a crow brings
very depressing and sorrowful pictures to our mind.
