Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

To ask if there is some mistake.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.
