in the woods on a bright, snowy afternoon
in a village on a dark, snowy evening

"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."

the pull of being alone in nature against the pull of responsibility
the ability of nature to make a person feel tired and sleepy
"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."
What might the poet have repeated the line "and miles to go before I sleep?"
to make the woods seem even more attractive and lovely
to make the speaker seem forgetful and less smart than earlier in the poem
to make readers pay special attention to the meaning of the line
to make the speaker seem like he or she is already asleep
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,"
What is the effect of the word "but" in the second line?
it makes it seem like the reader does not actually like the woods much and wants to leave
it makes it seem like the speaker can still keep promises while staying by the woods
it makes it seem like the promises the speaker has to keep are lovely, dark, and deep
it makes it seem like the speaker has to choose between keeping promises and the lovely woods
