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 | 5 |
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. | 10 |
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, | 15 |
And miles to go before I sleep. | |
