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 harshness bells a shake
   To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound is 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.
