Oh Rose, thou art sick

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.
.

That's what it was like out in the woods, like Narnia, always snowing but never Christmas. It even had the lamp (well, several of them). I always follow the road less traveled by. Or, you know, if they happen to be equally traversed I go left.
