Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
by Robert Frost
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.
Those 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.

With blanket of silence.

For those first few drops of rain,
The storm begins in earnest.
