Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Whose woods these are I think I know.
\nHis house is in the village, though;
\nHe will not see me stopping here
\nTo watch his woods fill up with snow.<\/p>\n

My little horse must think it queer
\nTo stop without a farmhouse near
\nBetween the woods and frozen lake
\nThe darkest evening of the year.<\/p>\n

He gives his harness bells a shake
\nTo ask if there is some mistake.
\nThe only other sound’s the sweep
\nOf easy wind and downy flake.<\/p>\n

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
\nBut I have promises to keep,
\nAnd miles to go before I sleep,
\nAnd miles to go before I sleep.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Growing up in the wooded hills of Middle Tennessee, I spent many winter nights enthrall to the sight and sound Frost describes. Wonder. “The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.” \u00a0Is that Frost’s vision of when he will finally be allowed to sleep?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
