About Poem 

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.

                                     
                       In this opening stanza , the setting is clarified as a winter evening. The speaker desires to watch snow fall quietly in some woods. And woods belongs to someone that person in not present not protest if the speaker trespasses.

                                     
                          The speaker no emphasizes reason to stop that stopping for the beauty of the scene only. And "The darkest evening of the year" an element of darkness. The poem may not be a simple light - bearted  celebration of nature.

                                   
                            In the Second stanza , begins with an auditory image. And speaker can her the " easy wind" such a sound is gentle. In "The only other sound’s the sweep " sound's the sweep minics the sound of the this wind.

                                    
                             In third stanza , the speaker emphasizes his attraction to the unknown and perhaps the dangerous. And farther into the woods which are " lovely " but are also " dark and deep "

                                      
                              In this line "And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep" conclusion to the poem indicates that the idea contained in it is highly significant. He has much life to live before he can " sleep " and " dark and deep " woods....
