poetry in the woods

I remember memorizing the poem. My first. Robert Frost and his words were key in my education on poetry and nature. When I look at this picture of Paige, being so very her... it makes me think of the poem and I can't help but smile.


Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening 

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.

 ~Robert Frost
