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 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.
