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.

On Looking Up By Chance At The Constellations

You'll wait a long, long time for anything much / To happen in heaven beyond the floats of cloud

A Boundless Moment

He halted in the wind, and--what was that / Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?

Acceptance

When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud / And goes down burning into the gulf below,

To Earthward

Love at the lips was touch / As sweet as I could bear;
