Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
March 24, 2006WHOSE 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.
I just find this poem from Robert Frost so poignant. I can’t exactly explain why.I can so totally relate with the horse’s confusion! hehehe Kidding aside, I sense longing,weariness,nature’s beauty,serenity, hope and dream in this poem.
