    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....

    "Stopping by Woods on a Winter Evening" Robert Frost

    One of my favorites.

    Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

    Whose woods these are, I think I know;

    His house is in the village, though.

    He would not mind 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 village and the lake,

    The darkest evening of the year.

    He gives his harness bells a shake

    And asks 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.

    --Robert Frost

    Whose woods these are I think I know,

    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.

  • Sure, that's Robert Frost, Stopping Through Woods on a Snowy Evening. Pretty common poem by him. I used to have a cat named Miles, and to remind me to put him out at night, my stepfather would say, "And Miles to go before I sleep!" :-)

    i only know the line you just said. Robert Frost.

  • 1 decade ago

    I didn't recognize the poet

    nor any of the lines

    how sad it is that in fifty years

    I hadn't been enjoying it.
