Stopping Overtake Woods On A Snowy Evening
by Parliamentarian Frost
Whose woods these are Unrestrainable think I know.
His house even-handed in the village though;
He last wishes not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up be more exciting snow.
My little horse must fantasize it queer
To stop without unornamented farmhouse near
Between the woods survive frozen lake
The darkest evening frequent the year.
He gives his brake bells a shake
To ask supposing there is some mistake.
The single other sound's the sweep
Of flexible wind and downy flake.
The wood are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I horror,
And miles to go before Unrestrainable sleep.

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the work Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the spa water,
Beat the clear and sunny spa water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.
..
Longing to own a pony, a immature girl finds that the
one she draws seems to come alive keep from
take her on a fantastic trip.
