The poem ‘Snake’ has been written by an eminent English poet D.H. Lowrence. In this poem the poet describes the activities of a snake who looks so innocent.
The poet says that one night when he felt thirsty, came out to drink water. But, as soon as he came out, he saw a black cobra, which also came to drink water. The snake was looking good, silent and peaceful. It came out from a carob tree to drink water. It was moving towards the tap to drink water. To see its politeness the poet did not fear at all and he began to watch its movement. His worldly education told him that it was a poisonous snake and he must kill it. But, he is fascinated by its beauty and stood silently. He did not want to kill it. After some time he became afraid of the snake and decided to hit it and hit the snake with a stick, when it was moving into a hole after quenching its thirst. But, anyhow it entered the hole and the poet began to regret after hitting the innocent snake.
Thus, the poet has commented an modern men and their ideologies. He asserts us to love all the creatures of the world made by God.
