Stopping by the 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's 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.

Love the images....mysterious and enchanting....makes me feel cold now...Saturday we might get some snow here, so hopefully the weather reports are accurate....real snow for a change!!!!
ReplyDelete:D!! One of my favorite poems also. Makes me long a little for a snowy Maine winter evening. It's cold.. (obviously, :) ) but i love the feel of fresh light snow on my bare hands..
