Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost : MCQs and Explanation

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.
