Whose woods these are Ithink I know,
His house is in the village though.

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 Ihave promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep

And Ihad put away
My labor and my leisure too,

AtRecess-in the Ring
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain-
We passed the Setting Sun
Or rather-He passed us-
The Devws drew quivering and chil
For only Gossamer, my Gown
My Tippet-only Tulle

A Swelling of the Ground
The Roof was scarcely visible
The Cornice-in the Ground

Since then-'tis Centuries-and yet

Feels shorter than the Day
Ifirst surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity
