                              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.

                                                                                                                               - Robert Frost

1. Where do you think the poet is going? Why is he going there?
2. Why did the poet stop by the woods though it was dark and he was alone?
3. Guess what promise the poet had to keep before he would sleep.
