Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.

To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
The darkest evening of the year.
Between the woods and frozen lake
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.

make a living and provide for their families they
had to keep moving forward, instead of
