Read the lines from the poem "It Sifts from Leaden Sieves." It sifts from Leaden Sieves---
It powders all the Wood.

How does the metaphor in the lines create meaning?

It compares the snow to facial powder dusting the world; this creates the idea that each snowstorm offers a fresh new world.

It compares the snow to powdered wood; this creates the idea that the powdery snow is falling on top of a layer of thick, frozen ice.

It compares the snow to leaden sieves; this creates the idea that surviving a snowstorm requires serious preparation.

It compares the falling snow to baker's flour being sifted; this creates the meaning that the snow is drifting downward and blanketing the earth.
