Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening

With my bias for Robert Frost's dark - nature - obessessed poetry, below I add the famous and my favourite ...

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening - 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's 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.

The last para was written in my brother's friend's personal diary and I read this in the year book, in his obituary, on my first day at my first job... didn't feel nice :(
