"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 sounds 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

Well, do we think alike, or what?  I almost posted the Robert Frost poem this morning.  Thanks - you know I love Robert Frost!   :)

Thanks, Garden Girl!  I especially like the dance! 

I found this poem tonight and liked it.  It reminds me that Winter Solstice is past and the days are now getting longer.  :)

"I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

'We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,'
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December."
-   Oliver Herford, I Heard a Bird Sing

Great poems, gg and Wilson.  Thanks so much.  I think "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairiy" is a favorite of many.

GG, what a lovely blessing, and wonderful thoughts for the new year!  I just absolutely love "The Prayer" too.  Such a beautiful song.

Happy New Year, everyone!!

Good one, gg!  Sparrows get a lot of bad press.
Use the talents you possess: for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best.

GG, thank you for sharing Lewis Carroll's quotes.  So simple and yet profound.
