Stopping By the Woods on a Snowy Evening
By Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farm house near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of east wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

I love Robert Frost!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite poem is Death of the Hired Man... and this one.
I think I may have mentioned this, when I was in high school, we read an essay that argued this poem was about Santa Claus :)
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, it is one of my favorite Frost poems too.
This is really exquisite! I don't read nearly as much poetry as I would like, so thanks for sharing. God bless!
