Swiftly walk o’er the western wave,Spirit of the Night!-Percy Bysshe Shelley

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 “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening”
