The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

I always thought that the point was that the crow knocking the snow on him like that, made him laugh at himself.

The author was having a bad day, but then a crow in a tree knocked down some snow on him/her, kind of a surprise, and cheered him/her up.

it means that the crow shook the snow from the hemlock tree on you, and how it changed your outlook on the day, and your life.

i always thought that the crow shaking the snow on robert frost woke him up a little, and made him appreciate life rather than rueing the day.

it means that if you're in a bad mood you need to stop and smell the roses. look at the little things you normally take for granted and you'll have a better day for it.

Little everyday things that are usually takin for granted, can really turn your day around if you take some time to stop and think about it.

Sounds like Shakesphere's poems, I have no idea, but for you I'll guess
Blessings from above, divine intervention?
