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.
By Robert Frost

I think this poem is about how the writer looks at his life and sees how beautiful the snow and nature is and he wants to stay in that very moment, but he cant. He has to keep moving to keep his promises. The last lines are deciphered as that he still has a long ways to go before he dies. It coiuld be internal conflicts or external conflicts that he has to deal with but he has many things to do before he passes. The poem gives a very thoughtful mood. The writer is thinking about nature and his life while the reader is also thinking about theirs. This poem really makes you think about the possible turns your life can take and how you need to move on.
