 • Miles To Go Before I Sleep

Posted by arogers at Jan 31, 2006 05:59 AM
This was always a favorite of mine.  I can relate to the second and third verses.  I've seen the "look" on my horse's face when I make an unexpected stop for no apparent reason.  My horse always did think she was smarter then me.... and maybe she was. 
 
 
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's 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's 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.
