01b00Stopping by woods on a snowy evening02b02br
00by Robert Frost 02br
02br
00Whose woods these are I think I know. 02br
00His house is in the village, though; 02br
00He will not see me stopping here 02br
00To watch his woods fill up with snow. 02br
02br
00My little horse must think it queer 02br
00To stop without a farmhouse near 02br
00Between the woods and frozen lake 02br
00The darkest evening of the year. 02br
02br
00He gives his harness bells a shake 02br
00To ask if there is some mistake. 02br
00The only other sound's the sweep 02br
00Of easy wind and downy flake. 02br
02br
00The woods are lovely, dark and deep, 02br
00But I have promises to keep, 02br
00And miles to go before I sleep, 02br
00And miles to go before I sleep. 02br
