The poem "Snake" has been composed by DH Lawrence. According to the poet, it was a hot day of summer.
The poet felt thirsty. He went to the container to drink water. He founded a snake coming out from a fissure of the earth. It was a Black Cobra, which also came there to drink water. The poet was fascinated by the look and movement of the snake. After drinking water, it began to enter its hole.
The poet threw a clumsy log over it. The snake died on the spot. After killing the snake, the poet starts repenting that he has committed a sin and he will be punished by God for it.
