Miles to Go before I sleep

There is a beautiful poem by Robert Frost which I read at some time in my childhood years. I have always remembered the beautiful lines – The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep. The never stopping, never retreating, just the will, persistence and courage to go on and on. Now, I guess that explains why I sleep late at night, doesn’t it? lol

night warrior woods Miles to Go before I sleep

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.
