it is a poem of objective co-relative.The Poet wants to convey that even a snail has a message to teach us that is we take every step with lot of caution.he compares this temperament with snail's slowness.The poet,first gives the realistic movement of the snail.It is also used as an image.The setting of the poem is night and dark.the poem is built on contrast.it has contrast of light and dark."green night"in the poem refers to grasses.As the snail is slowly pushing,the night seems to be green for it.Snail moves in darkness and it leaves light behind it.
