This poem has a type of association with a specific kind of connection or filter, since the word sieve infers partition by a screen, like a colander. Dickerson's choice to use the word leaden can be strange, since lead makes one associate it with rust and rot, while giving a heavy and overwhelming feel to the title; a heavy sifter may be an allegory for a broken channel. The title can be seen as something that filters something cold and obscure.
The following is the paraphrasing of the poem: It filters from lead-colored winter clouds, as flour falling on the trees, it loads cold and hard wool, Masks the imperfections of the street.

I trust that the dull mists that for the most part go with a snow fall could be viewed as Heavy since they frequently have a dim, practically solemn vitality about them when they cover the sky. This is the means by which the creator feels, similar to a weight is pushing down on them, taking without end a portion of the light from their lives, as cloudy mists would do to the Sun.
