    The poem describes a traveler stopping in the woods on a snowy evening. As the snow fills up the woods, the traveler's horse thinks it's strange to stop without a nearby farmhouse. The traveler acknowledges that while the woods are beautiful, they must continue their journey as they have promises to keep and miles left to travel before resting for the night.

    Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening 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.
