Headed to Wisconsin today

Driving to Wisconsin today which reminded me of Robert Frost for some reason... so here is one of my favorite poems:


Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening
By Robert Frost 1874–1963
     
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.

So pretty, I love Robert Frost.  Makes me want to move to New Hampshire.

Today I am thankful for poetry
