Poem for the day 04.30.14 – Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Today we come to the end of National Poetry Month. It has been great. Thanks all for your contributions. Here is a last poem. I think we all know this one, an apt note to close on and, coincidently, a fitting sentiment to the conclusion of our campaign season.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening – Robert Frost

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.
