The poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost describes a traveler who stops in the woods to watch the snow fill in. He is tempted to stay in the peaceful woods but knows he has commitments elsewhere that he must attend to. The traveler's horse thinks it is strange to stop without a nearby farmhouse and shakes its harness bells, but the only other sounds are the wind and falling snow. The traveler acknowledges the beauty of the dark, deep woods but knows he has promises to keep and distances to travel before he can rest.
