Snowy Woods

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.

  1. 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.

    I had to memorize that poem in eighth grade and still remember it. I think of it every time we get a real dump of snow. Thanks for jogging my memory.

  2. Love that poem. So fitting for our neck of the woods.
