Miles To Go Before He Slept: The Life and Works of Robert Frost
Kevan J. Riley
Ever since the days of my youth, Robert Frost has been one of my favorite poets. I can remember my mother reading me "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening," and to this day I enjoy the poem as much as I did back then. There is something relaxing about the way that he writes. Perhaps it is the way that he incorporates nature into his poems, or the way that his works have subtle yet profound messages. At any rate, I have come to greatly enjoy his poetry, and I have seen his poems appear in several different publications over the last year. When I recently stumbled across "Mending Wall" while reading an anthology, I loved it so much that it inspired me to examine his poems in depth to see if there is anything I missed in my past experiences with them. Frost's poems are beautiful in and of themselves, but I think that I can appreciate them more now that I am older and I can understand the meaning that is implicit in so many of his works.
One of my favorite Frost poems is "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening." The title gives the poem the

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
1923 poem by Robert Lee Frost
"Whose woods these are I think I know" redirects here. For the comic book, see The Bloody Doors Off § Whose Woods These Are I Think I Know.
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.[1]
