The poem describes stopping in the woods on a snowy evening. The speaker knows whose woods they are visiting but the owner will not see them stopping to watch the snow fill in the trees. The speaker's horse thinks it's strange to stop without being near a farmhouse between the woods and frozen lake, which is the darkest evening of the year. The horse shakes its harness bells as if wondering if there's been a mistake. The only other sounds are the sweep of the wind and falling snowflakes. Though the woods are lovely and deep, the speaker has promises to keep and miles to go before sleeping.
