In this poem he has narrated the story of his incidental meeting with a snake. He was fascinated by his dignified and quiet ways. He loved and respected him as a guest. It points out poet's reaction of fear and fascinating to the snake. There is a conflict between his natural feelings and his rational thinking. The poem pints out how our feelings of affection are crushed by our social education. Our reasoning often misleads us. Man sometimes kills other animals just to prove his power and manhood. But he has no right to deprive others of their right to live. The poem arouses feelings of love and sympathy for all creatures in this world. Although the poet hits the snake under the influence of his education, yet he feels sorry for his mean act. So man's natural instinct prevails in the end.
 
Basically the poet wants to highlight the difference between a natural man and a rational man. By nature a man is sympathetic, considerate and peace loving. His education turns him a brutal and kills a natural man in him. If his education is taken from him, he will be a kind and generous to everyone. His intellectual considerations and worldly desires turn him into beast. Moreover, his conflict is the result of same thinking. the poet wants to say this education also makes him egoistic and selfish which urges him to kill the snake to satisfy his social needs.
 
The poet explains to us the nature of the conflict which grips his mind at the sight of the snake. The poet has drawn the conflict between the use of rational powers and intuitive powers. The poet listens to his rational voice and attacks the snake only to regret his mean and vulgar act. 
The poet equates his education with forces of ignorance, cruelty and barbarity. He thinks that our rationality and intellect produce in us fears, doubts and superstitions. It is our instinctive nature which prompts us to do the acts of goodness.

 The poem SNAKE written by D.h.lawrence is abrilliant poem which shows the intenal conlict of the human education system,which make us the so called "better beings" , to our own moralle taught tous by our concience.

  the poem starts with the poet discribing the weather of the day ,it is a hot july morning on the island of sicily,when the poet comes to drink some water from the trough where he sees a snake has come before him. the poet pauses and lets the snake drink the water as he had come before him.he is mesmerised by the beauty and the grace of this creature whom he finds royal ,his movent and grace compells the poet to stay there and admire it, though his manly education had been a constant pain,and had been forcing it to kill it! according to what he had been taught ,the black snakes in sicily where harmless while those which were golden were dangerous and this was a golden one.though he wanted to kill it(mentally), but he was all the more hounered by the snakes visit.

finally his reasonable education over came his conscience and he wantonly threw the log on the snake who was retearting back in to his hole.Oh! how he imeadetly regreted it. he remembered the wanton killing of the the albatross by the ancient mariener. he wanted to crown this unappretiated animal.

Actually the poet throught  the poem wants to drive our attention towards how we knowingly are turing unreasonable in the name of education.Instead of civilising us ,our own education is killing  our basic principles which  make us humane
