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.
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.
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.
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
And miles to go before I sleep.
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake, To ask if there is some mistake.
Between the woods and frozen lake, The darkest evening of the year.
Of easy wind and downy flake.
I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep.
Stopping by woods on a snowy evening.
