Silent Snow

This poem is a favorite from an the anonymous she. I asked what poem she liked that had the topic of nature, and this was the answer she gave to me. A tale of a young man traveling through the darkest depths of a snow covered forest. The author of this poem is Robert Frost.

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.
