Whose woods these are l 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 Like
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 l have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
