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.

My take of this great piece by Mr. Frost
We all have our own journeys in life. But every now and then, we take a pause along the way to marvel at something wonderful (woods in the snow). Hard it may be to let go of that moment, knowing it maybe the last time we experience it, we must move on... for there are ultimate matters we aim for (promises to keep).
As we take the long and hard (miles to go) journey to reach our goals in life, let us stop now and then to marvel (watch the woods) at the wonders along the way. It's this temporary pause in life to appreciate little things that make it worth the journey... no matter how long. -

My understanding on it
From guest Adrew (contact)
The author wants to go to a place -perhaps death or a pessimistic world belonging to himself only .But he remembers his promises to himself or family or even the society as he says in the poem " And miles to go before I sleep" .In the end he keeps going to keep his promise in reality. -

believe with faith
From guest jitender kohli (contact)
trusting, believing is easy to shift your confidence from one to another but faith is the ideal form of the love which abosorves the soul of lover/belover intermingling forever to survive on the earth or heavens.this is what tulsidas had and what meerabai had.it is what we starve but fail to attain this stage being so depressed in search of lust and luxry and not the divine. fighting souls reach and oneday me too if doesnot deviate from the path carrying to the goal -

I had to memorize this poem in 7th grade. I came to love Robert Frost's poetry & I love this poem. We analyzed it, read it out loud....& for years after, I could recite the entire thing from memory. Now, I have to brush up on it, I haven't read it in so long until tonight.
I was taught there are four stanzas in this poem, though. I may be wrong, but when I was first intrduced to this piece, it looked like this:
"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." -

Two kinds of Persistence
From guest Mr.T.Viji (contact)
Really I like this poem very much. Certainly the last for lines of the poem reflect two kinds of persistence in everyone's heart when they look into pretty things in the world. The first persistence is related to the satisfaction he/she gets from childhood, youth, career, marriage, parenthood etc., and the other is the realisation of impermanancy of such aspects, keep wishes(promises) to achieve(go) before one's life ends(sleep) -

From guest Kara Mercer (contact)
"The darkest evening of the year" Why do you think he goes out on the darkest evening, maybe becuase it gives him a little longer in admiring the scene. And the feeling of feeling free from life. Even if it is just for a moment before he must go back to his responsibilites. Anyways I'll be doing a presentation on the poem tm for my English class! -
STOPPNG BY THE WOODS ON A SNOW EVENING

nice poem
From guest taylor (contact)
we are currently memorizing this poem for english class, and its pretty good so far. i really like it. its got a nice rythum to it, and even though not everything rhymes, it really goes together well. -
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... -
You know I visited Stone House this past summer, which is in Stonesbury, VT, and this piece is posted on the wall of one of the rooms, there is much controversy about the meaning of this piece. There has been for many years, if you just read it on the surface, you might think it is death or suicide, but if you really look at it, and search your heart, then you might find that it is much deeper than that. Comparing the physical appearance of what one sees, to what one's heart and soul sees and feels as they travel through life.
Robert Frost has always been my favorite poet, and this poem has always been my favorite. I have visited his home's in Derry, NH, Franconia, NH, and Shaftsbury, This man is one not be taken lightly with his accomplishments.
Thanks for choosing this piece to feature in "Old Poetry" -

Conversation
From guest Karen Willett Tyree (contact)
The fact that this poem by Robert Frost brings so much interaction and conversation shows how deep it really is. When a writing can provoke so much energy from people than it shows how powerful of a writer Frost was. Try to attempt to write something yourself that would last this long, have such an impact that is still talked about today in length. -
Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening
From guest Karen Willett Tyree (contact)
I have always loved this poem by Robert Frost. So much that when I taught 4th grade one assignment I required each year of my students was to memorize and then recite this poem in front of the classroom. After all these years I wander if my students ever acquired a deep appreciation as I have had for this beautifully simple and moving poem written by one of the greatest poetist. -

Poem
From guest Stephen (contact)
The repetition of the last line repeats the dual meaning of sleep/death. Its not a contemplation of suicide. There is nothing to suggest anything that specific. Its is a contemplation of mortality: the woods filling up with snow unmarked by any human sign; the snow and wind that will be there when he, like any other man is gone. The horse, domesticated and ruled by instinct senses something "queer" about stopping without any of the comforts of domestication;"mistake": the mortal danger of the woods of snow and wind that offer no comfort of human (or animal) domicile. "The darkest evening of the year" the winter solstice literally but also the "darkness" of death that is our ineluctable fate one day. We will all face our darkest day. "Lovely, dark and deep" describes both the literal beauty of the snowy evening woods and also strikes the precise equivalent of the grave which is also lovely, dark and deep. "Lovely" evokes the peace associated with death a sleep. On the whole the poem ingeniously enacts the contemplation of a moment when a man contemplates his solitary mortality on the occasion of seeing the evening winter woods. It forcefully captures the paradoxical beauty and darkness of mortality. Like any obligation, life both inspires and wearies us and death is menacing yet peaceful. -

From guest Marvel Gordon (contact)
This poem is indeed a marvellous one, this is really a great work of art.

Stopping by woods
From guest Dawn Chazah (contact)
I cannot believe anyone can interpret this as anything more than a man who's travelling on a road on a cold winters night, with his horse and cart, [or sledge as he mentions harness bells which is a set of devices and straps that attaches a horse to a cart, carriage, or sledge], and he decides to stop for a moment and look at the loveliness of the woods. He thinks he knows the person who owns the woods, but they live in the village. Obviously its snowing and he was watching the snow falling in the woods [which is really a lovely sight to see!] - and all he can hear is the gentle wind and snow flakes falling, and the bells on his horses harness. And then he's distracted from his thoughts as he hears the tinkling of the harness bells, and has a warm sense of humour about his horse who might be wondering why they have stopped in such a place because there was no farmhouse where it knew he would have a warm place to stay with fresh straw and food. So, a little reluctantly, the man carries on with his journey, even though he's tired, and as he said - he has promises to keep and still miles to go before he can sleep. Thats all there is to it!! I hope one day in the future if people ever read my poems they won't think I was writing about death, suicide, etc... especially that over imagination of some people here!! -
-
"Thats all there is to it!"
If only writing were that simple. A lot of Frost's work can be read on more than one level. He had mentioned that himself. To think everything he wrote had only one interpretation was not to appreciate the depth of the man or the value and enjoyment of poetry.
We don't have to find more in this poem to enjoy it, it stands fine on its own, Oh, but what richness lies beneath poetry (and all creative writing) and looking for it is both fun and enriching.
I hope if anyone one days finds my buried pile of hapless fiction that they do indeed read deeper, for as poorly written as it may be, there is certainly more than a surface level to be read.

Story of Romance
From guest Polly (contact)
I believe this poem can be interpreted in many ways...The way it was interpreted to me was that of a man on his average life path. He came upon something mysterious and inviting (another woman, addiction, etc.). However, the horse in the poem refers to his conscious. Perhaps the man is married and has exchanged vows to never wander into the woods. Since he is a good, upstanding, and respectable man, he decides not to fall into the dark temptation. But, who says he never returns? -

re:katia
From guest mansoor alam (contact)
katia 's interpretation is too mechnical to be accepted.katia has taken for granted the idea of forest as something internal, which is probably not.the poem should not ever be examined on systematic basis as katia has done it. -
Another Interpretation
From guest Katia (contact)
I see it as someone using the forest as a metaphor for feelings, emotions circling inside his mind. "He will not see me stopping here" could be seen as referring to the thought of giving up, not on life necessarily, but on a particular task, a job, or motivation. What is the point in keeping up appearances and motivation if no one is watching (his house is in the village, though)? The horse may represent people close to him, that think his ideas "queer", who stand with him, but do not have the same thoughts. Darkest evening of the year is, as mentioned before, a reference to this swing of depression, built up over the years and suddenly swooped down to lead to this stopping by woods and self-questioning. There is this temptation to give up , abandon all that had once been loved. The reason I translate it as the above is because the last two repeated lines sound weary and tired. Like a sigh, but coupled with the knowledge that these miles are necessary and will bring just as much happiness as sorrow. -
I remember reading this poem as a little kid and sitting in wonderment at the end of it.
Am I right in my interpretation that this is about death? -
the weltschmerzian note
From guest Mansoor Alam (contact)
poems like this one tend to be misinterpreted by people who want to come up with something new for the sake of it.this trend is destructive in a sense that the plain and staight-forward appeal of the poem is engulfed in modern verbiage of newness.
the poem very clearly talks about the universal sadnes when a person ,a gifted one, thinks about the ultimate end of the universe.the role of man in a complex scheme of things!
this idea can only be felt by the select few ones.shakespeare was the first,then came hardy and now robert frost! -
Contemplating death? Probably. Suicide? That is another thing and takes a greater leap of faith. There are a couple lines to bolster that opinion, "The darkest night of the year" could suggest depression. "The woods are lovely, dark and deep" could mean death. I'd prefer to think it's just someone contemplating man's temporal fate and realization that there's a lot of life yet to be explored, lived.
And for me, the repeated last lines echo a comparison/contrast to the literal and the connotative...he has miles to go before bed, and a long life before it ends. There's also a slightly haunting reinforcement to it. -

Charles Kinbote, in Nabokov's Pale Fire, would agree with Marissa's interpretation of the last line; I would too. -

meaning
From guest Marissa (contact)
at the end where it says miles to go before i sleep means he has a journey ahead of him; hes not ready to die he still has alot to to do before death so this poem has a deeper meaning than goin to the woods.. im in 7th grade and i have noticed this...have you? -
-
Although many, and I mean many, people believe that this poem is about a man contemplating death, it doesn't have to be. It could simply be that the man was admiring the peace of the woods and realized he had much to do before sleep, so he needed to stop daydreaming and start moving again. I like to think that good poets write poems so that many interpretations can be made about them depending on the individual and where that person is in his/her own life. I do agree that one interpretation is thinking about death but it could be about nature and peace and then coming to reality that life is ahead.

my favorite poem
From guest Monique Miller (contact)
No matter what the author intended the poem to mean, it has kept me on the right path for years. I first read the poem in high school. I am now in my 50s and I still get strength from this poem. To me the woods represent temptation. Whenever I am facing temptation, I am reminded of the promises I have made to God and others. Miles to go represent traveling through life. To me sleep represents giving in to temptation. Even if Robert Frost did not have any of these things in mind when he wrote the poem, I am sure he would have been pleased to know that his poem help keep so many of people on the straight and narrow path and we have had a better life because of his poem. -

about temptation
From guest sumayya (contact)
I re-read this poem today and found that in fact it might be about temptation, any temptation, not just about death or contemplating suicide. The woods are very tempting, someone else's property is tempting to stop by and enjoy, but then he remembers that he has promises for others that he is obliged to keep, and still miles to go before he can find his "rest" and sleep. -

From guest gemma (contact)
this poem is about how a man loves the fact that everything is dark and gloomy and he is think about suicide but remebers that he has other commitments to attend to before he can do anything. it suggests that he is trespassing on another mans land. the horse is the one that is speaking common sense as this man has gone off into a dream world thinking about death and gloomyness and his horse gets him out of that dream by shaking his head and making noises thus awakening the man back into reality where he realises that he cannot die here. -

The Meaning has Metamorphosed
From guest Ardmoor Oakes (contact)
I loved this poem in its simple beauty when I first read it. Years latter as a professor of English I now understand that the poem is prophetic. The "deep snow" concept clearly applies to the Iraq quagmire and the Bushilter quest for oil. "Miles to go before I sleep" illustrates the plight of women and minorities at the hands of the racio-patriarchal hegemony. Frost was well ahead of his time. -
Stopping by Woods
From guest Isaac Taylor (contact)
I think that this poem is about a person starting to second guess his religious convictions/convictions of society. The owner of the woods being God/society, the speaker hopes/wishes in their own mind that God will not uncover their doubts. The woods perhaps being his own world filling with beautiful but worldly hopes. The horse then representing a trained animal and thus his conscience and societies expectations perhaps trained to accept only certain actions . These thoughts then occur at the darkest moments in his life. However in the end God and the speaker's conscience/society win the battle putting down the personal hopes and aspirations in favor of his conformity to the "promises" that we all are made to give to society. -

Stopping by Woods...
I think this work is about the writer contemplating the weight of human existence at dark and depressing point within his life. The writer is considering the worthiness of continuing on with life, while hoping his thoughts are concealed from God (owner of house).The horse, perhaps pulling the burden of life on a sleigh, protests with the implied notation of,” lets move on, these thoughts of ending our journey are not natural"; the nature of man is to live and survive.
The writer finally realizes that life is beautiful and mysterious, and he has the comment to live out this gift of life, and not end it by his own hand.

Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods
Frost is indeed a genius and he reveled in playing with words that messed with our minds. Simplicity of image was his forte and he used it well in his poem.
I like the idea that the owner of the woods here is God and even if God is all knowing, Frost would be all too eager to play on his spiritual knowledge that to try to lock God into one building is absurd, so his saying that the owner would not see might be some of Robert's sharp sarcastic wit for us to enjoy.
This is such a wonderful poem to read over and over again. -

From guest Brittany (contact)
I had to do a literary analysis in my 11th year of high school on this poem and Nothing Gold Can Stay. I still love these two poems, amazingly, because that analysis drove me to the brink, drained me in many ways, frustrated me, made me curse poetry, cure Robert Frost, and nearly destroyed me. I always knew he had implied meanings and metaphors but, but never knowing what exactly it is and the similarities and differences between it and another poem is mindboggling. Robert Frost is a complete genuis and still remains my absolute favorite poet. I love this poem (my second favorite), awestruck but his beautiful mind, and I would go into detail a little about my analysis, but i would rather not go back to that horrible time. -

Favorite piece,by Frost;
From guest Suseann (contact)
From Suseann; The wonderful thing about reading poetry, is it's message is unique in interpration to most.We can never know unless it's followed by an Author's comment of intent.What exactly he or she meant.I believe most in youth might not have the appreciation of this author's age and era he lived in to consider when taking it's message to mean something deeper than it was intended.Before the modern age of electronic entertainment.T.V. and radio. Life and nature held more for the indivigual.Enrichment of living allowed more time to ponder in short. Sliegh rides through the country side on freshly fallen snow is a challenge,to leave a mark.Snow Angels and foot prints. A moon glow evening just as the Sunset.Woods illuminated and a person's love of exploration into the woods and what they held,is enticing even today.I've loved this piece by Frost from first real reading of poetry at age 11.This piece more than any.Caught me up and made me take notice of poetry.Now some 50 years later.I can still say,it is my favorite I too am sticken with wanderlust of nature.And this is indeed a masterpiece of classic poetry. -
From guest Arvind Ramamurthy (contact)
The way i look at it is that he veers towards being a recluse and away for society .... enjoying the pleasures of such an experience.... but finally decides there is yet time for this event.... -
<
The only way I can explain the owner part is that the man didn't want the owner seeing him trespass. The poem never refers to the scene being unbearably cold. Downy flake refers to a very soft snow flake and there is barley a breeze. The wind is what will freeze you. -
-
His house is in the village though
My high school teacher felt that this phrase referred to a church, and thus the whole first stanza was referring to God. So, he meant God as the 'owner' of the woods, and 'His house' meant a church.
The quiet contemplation of life and death that follows makes much more sense from this viewpoint. -
-
However if it was God, wouldn't he see him stopping in the woods? He is all knowing.
