“Poetry is another way of expressing self. Like all the other types of

poets Emily Dickinson entitled If I can stop one heart from beating and
stopping by woods on a snowy evening by Robert Frost. I want you to
analyze and understand the poem as I read it.”

4. Boost Yourself

If I can stop one heart from breaking

Emily Dickinson

If I can stop one heart from breaking,

I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
 Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

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 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.

“As we read the poem what can you say about the sample poems
above? List down your observations regarding word choice and usage,
structure?
