Stopping+by+Woods

By Robert Frost
 * //Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening//**


 * 1) Whose woods these are I think I know.
 * 2) His house is in the village though;
 * 3) He will not see me stopping here
 * 4) To watch his woods fill up with snow.


 * 1) My little horse must think it queer
 * 2) To stop without a farmhouse near
 * 3) Between the woods and frozen lake
 * 4) The darkest evening of the year.


 * 1) He gives his harness bells a shake
 * 2) To ask if there is some mistake.
 * 3) The only other sound's the sweep
 * 4) Of easy wind and downy flake.


 * 1) The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
 * 2) But I have promises to keep,
 * 3) And miles to go before I sleep,
 * 4) And miles to go before I sleep.
