sensory word examples?

Hello, I'm looking for a few examples of sensory words in the following poem by Robert Frost:

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.

    An old fashioned Micky Mouse Land-line telephone jangled my nerves as its ring went off like a fire alarm bell. Well, I used similes and maybe that's not what your teacher had in mind. Probably she just wants adjectives and adverbs. I'll try again. An Old fashioned Micky Mouse land line telephone rang alarmingly loud.

    sensory words are words that pertain to the five senses: sight, touch, smell, taste, hearing

    In this poem they include:

    see-sight

    watch-sight

    darkest-sight

    frozen-possibly feel because it indicates cold

    bells- hearing

    sound/sweep-hearing

    lovely, dark and deep- sight
