To answer the question accurately, I would need to see the specific passage and the metaphor present in the first stanza. However, based on the provided responses, if you are looking for a metaphor that evokes a comforting or enveloping image, the option "Snow makes a rumpled blanket of the road" would typically evoke that image.
If you could provide the first stanza or details about it, I can help you more precisely determine which image it evokes.
