T - Theme
After all of this thoughtful analysis, what is the theme of the poem?
Meter : “Stopping by Woods on Snowy Evening” Robert Frost
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.
Poem continued.
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.
