At the window - bored, daydreaming, attracted to something
Paraphrase:
Stanza 1 - The boy weeps because a snowman stands alone outside and is about to suffer through a harsh night.
Stanza 2 - The snowman does not want to go inside and melt, but he feels thankful for the boy's worry of him.
Connotation
Snowman - cold and hardened person-literally and emotionally
All alone - he is independent, yet lonely
More than he can bear - the man is suffering outside
Night of gnashings and enormous moan - sufferings for the man outside to face
Fearful sight - afraid of the stranger
Pale-faced figure - sickly
Bitumen - coal
God-forsaken stare - the man is sad and in pain
