"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," by Robert Frost

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

 

1              Whose woods these are I think I know.

2              His house is in the village though;

3              He will not see me stopping here

4              To watch his woods fill up with snow

5              My little horse must think it queer

6              To stop without a farmhouse near

7              Between the woods and frozen lake

8              The darkest evening of the year.

9              He gives his harness bells a shake

10           To ask if there is some mistake.

11           The only other sound’s the sweet

12           Of easy wind and downy flake

 

13           The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

14           But I have promises to keep,

15           And miles to go before I sleep,

16           And miles to go before I sleep.

-Robert Frost
