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

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
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 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.

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 didn't recognize the poet
nor any of the lines
how sad it is that in fifty years
I hadn't been enjoying it.
