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
Happy Solstice!!!!!!!

  1. Oh I love that poem. What great pictures to go with it. Where were you where you got so close to that little fox or wolf (I can't tell)?! Wow, and I just realized the mountain lion in your header.
