This document provides analyses of two poems by Robert Frost: "Fire and Ice" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." "Fire and Ice" considers whether the world will end through fire or ice, with the speaker favoring fire based on their experiences with desire but acknowledging ice could also destroy. "Stopping by Woods" describes stopping to watch woods fill with snow on the darkest evening of the year while a horse wonders if there has been a mistake in not continuing to a farmhouse. The speaker has promises to keep and miles to travel before being able to sleep.

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.
STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING
BY ROBERT FROST 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 sounds 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.
