In Those Days

In those days-they were long ago-

The snow was cold, the night was black.

I licked from my cracked lips

A snowflake, as I looked back

Through branches, the last uneasy snow.

Your shadow, there in the light, was still.

In a little the light went out.

I went on, stumbling, till at last the hill

Hid the house. And, yawning,

In bed in my room, alone,

I would look out: over the quilted

Rooftops, the clear stars shone.

How poor and miserable we were,

How seldom together!

And yet after so long one drinks:

In those days everything was better.

Which figure of speech has been used in the following phrase: "uneasy snow"?

The correct answer is

Metaphor

It is a metaphor, because it implies that the snow is uneasy, comparing snow to a human emotion without using “like” or “as”, which is the essence of a metaphor.
