"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"

                                                           

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"
                                                  

                                                         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 farmhouse 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 easy 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.
