Does the poem "cross of snow" use any tropes? Give examples from the poem to support your claim?
The Cross of Snow: In the long, sleepless watches of the night, A gentle face -- the face of one long dead -- Looks at me from the wall, where round its head. The night-lamp casts a halo of pale light. Here in this room she died; and soul more white. Never through martyrdom of fire was led. To its repose; nor can in books be read. The legend of a life more benedight. There is a mountain in the distant West. That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines. Displays a cross of snow upon its side. Such is the cross I wear upon my breast. These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes. There are no tropes in this poem.
