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.

Thanks for this one, Mo. It is so peaceful. One of my favorites is Frost's "Dust of Snow"
ReplyDelete"The way a crow
shook down on me
the dust of snow
from a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
a change of mood
and saved some part
of a day I had rued."
Reminds me of the little blessings of each day.
Very nice Ruthie! Thanks for a moment of poetry!
