**I'm not sure what you mean by "tuck" in this poem. You "tuck" in a child under a blanket, to keep the child warm. I don't know how the snowflakes could "tuck" the tree. Do you mean a word describing an action such as to cover, to decorate, to weigh down...?

I like your poems!! :)

you may be looking for the phrase to be tucked up [against something] under something.
Snowflakes were tucked [up] against the old pine tree.

Tucked does not only describe tucking a child or somebody into bed.
it is sometimes used in poetic situation to mean lying close up against or under something. Like as if the snow drifted close to the old pine tree. Sheep can be tucked up under a tree, or old pine tree an idyllic scene you see in The UK and used in poetry.

It is just that the older meaning has been forgotten in daily language by many current speakers.
Tucked in came first before being used to describe putting children to bed .
