Stopping by woods on a snowy evening by Robert Frost

The poem Stopping by woods on a snowy evening is simplicity itself as far as the language is concerned. In its pictures and feelings, however, the poem is truly lyrical. The poet describes the woods on a snowy evening and all the pleasures this quiet, harmonious and beautiful scene inspires. The poem is written in simple four-beat lines which proceed quietly just as they should to suggest woods on a snowy evening. It gives special pleasure in what it calls to mind: a similar experience or, possibly, a nostalgic look back upon a simpler and more delightful age when men did have time to relax before hurrying on because there are promises to keep .
