Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—; I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. -The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

This is from Robert Frost... the last four lines are some of my favorites...

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.
