Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

 Robert Frost


To watch his woods fill up with snow. 

My little horse must think it queerTo stop without a farmhouse nearBetween the woods and frozen lakeThe darkest evening of the year. 

He gives his harness bells a shakeTo ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweepOf 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.

  2. The last part of that poem was featured in the movie "Telefon" with Charles Bronson & Lee Remick.
