Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

1. 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.   I like these two lines because it talks about stopping to view the beautiful snow.

My little horse must think it queer  <-- What does the speaker mean when he uses this word?
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,  I like this line because it is saying that the beauty of the snow can only be viewed for a certain amount of time then you have to get back to reality
And miles to go before I sleep,   
And miles to go before I sleep.


2. The reason why I like this poem is because it talks about someone who enjoys beautiful scenes, in this case, the snow is the beautiful scene and there is someone who stops in the middle of the woods just to view its beauty. While viewing the snow, this person realizes that they have many miles to travel before they go to sleep. Hweat the whole point of this poem is that admiring and viewing natures beauty wont last forever because there are many other things that need to be done . Another reason why I like this poem is because it is by Robert Frost and he is a poet in which I admire most of his work.
