This was one of my childhood favorites. Since then, I've fallen a bit out of love with Frost. It was fun to read this one again though - there is a power here...

He could use some more stanza breaks I think (before 'my little horse'). And some of the lines don't flow super well (sound's the sweep, strange contraction, and I think I know. - strange period)

Awesome ending of course. Personification of the horse with the shaking of the bells brilliant as well. I wish we got more description of why he felt it powerful and necessary to stop in this location. It feels so much showing us about the stopping, it neglects to mention why...
