A very good poem. Read it in 5th standard but then I was unable get its meaning fully. But now when I read it again and again, its beauty just goes on increasing. Just Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
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 poem is about life. Robert Frost is making a huge analogy to a decision that will change his future. For him to stay in the woods is one choice. Or he could keep moving on. Its about a tough point in his life and the decision whether to lay down and quit or to keep going. it does say he has promises to keep. this suggests a family. he repeats the last line twice for more emphasis, saying he still has a good long life before him yet to live.
