- Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
- "And miles to go before I sleep"
- Realized he had to leave
- Almost hypnotism by the forest
- Moral: Love for beauty can be dangerous
- Breaks rhythmic pattern because the beauty and hypnoses of the woods have stopped his thought
- "miles to go" is the struggle we have during our life and "before I sleep" is death almost a break from the struggles
- "The woods are lovely, dark and deep"
- Moral: Love for beauty can be dangerous
- Find comfort in being isolated and alone
- Metaphor for life, it can be lovely but has a dark side and the dark is the inevitable end
- He gives his harness bells a shake/to ask if there is some mistake"
- A sense of animistic panic foreshadowing danger
- Same as "The Wood Pile" (other Frost poem) as nature has a personality and Frost longs to talk
- Structure: A, A, B A, B, B, C, B, C, C, D, C, D, D, D, D,
- 4 lines, 4 stanzas, 4 stressed syllables
- "And miles to go before I sleep"
