Whose woods these are i think i know,

His house is in the village though;

Hi 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 sounds 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.
THEME OF THE POEM:

The theme of Choices.

Theme of Man and and the

Natural world.

Theme of Society and class.

Theme of Isolation.

In life everyone has to decide between

temptations and ones own responsibilities .every
one has their shares of ups and downs.
You cannot choose what you really want to do if
you have promises to keep , which are your
duty and responsibility to fulfil.
THE POEM AS A WHOLE:

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.
DICTION OF THE POEM:

The choice and use of words produce a calm, serene

tones which makes the poem flow smoothly from line
to line. The poet uses phrases like of easy wind and
downy flake or the woods are lovely, dark and deep
to create a peaceful soothing tone. The repetition in the
phrase And miles to go before I sleep and mile to go
before I sleep suggest the idea of a long journey in
human life.
