Dinah's Winter Poem


Dear All

We finished last night's Seasonal LPPG with a short and slightly unseasonal reading session. Due to time constraints (and my reading The Lunch Poems almost in their entirety), Dinah was unable to read her poem. Which is a shame as it is incredibly beautiful. Here it is

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
by Robert Frost

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.
