Stopping by Woods On A Snowy Evening
Theme of Isolation.
One snowy evening, the speaker rides on a horse in to the deep woods
where there is o passers-by. He stops in the woods with a pensive mood
and he knows the woods belongs to a man whose house is in the village.
He feels peaceful and appreciate the beauty of the woods in the winter.
His horse must think its strange to stop in that dark place between the
woods and frozen lake in the evening time. The speaker hears the sound
of the horse shaking his bell as a sign to ask his owner whether there is
something wrong. The other sound the speaker hears are those of wind
and downy flakes. Although the woods are pretty and pleasant to him,
he has to keep going because of his responsibilities to fulfil his promises.
