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
This is the kind of woods I think of when I read that poem. It could easily be New Hampshire, a state I have spent many happy hours in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pairing this picture with the poem. Both are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot and lovely poem...
ReplyDeleteThe snow capped fence makes a great visual subject in this nice snowy shot. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo! For some reason the poem is in wingding font on my computer...weird!
ReplyDeleteI have loved that poem since my youth.
