Lonely woods few words for lonliness

Lonely woods


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's 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.

-- ROBERT FROST
