Stopping
by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose
woods there 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...
