This poem uses symbolic and sensory language to describe a wanderer who stops in the woods to watch the snowfall, delaying his journey. The woods, horse, frozen lake, darkness and promises are symbolic of loneliness, conscience, isolation, hopelessness and responsibility. Through vivid imagery, the poet conveys the beauty yet danger of becoming lost in nature's distractions from one's duties before it's time for final rest. The wanderer acknowledges the miles left ahead before being able to sleep, both in life and at life's end.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Aku pikir aku mengetahui hutan ini .
Meskipun Rumahnya berada di desa ;
Dia tidak akan melihatku berhenti di sini
Untuk menelihat hutan nya yang ditutupioleh salju
.
Kuda kecil kuberpikir ini aneh
Berhenti tanpa adanya rumah petanidisekitar
Diantara hutan dan danau yang membeku
Di gelapnya malam tahun ini .

5. Ia memberikan isyarat dengan menggerakan
lonceng,
Untuk memberitahukan jika ada hal yang aneh .
Hanya ada suara sapuan angin,
Yang sepoi – sepoi dan butiran salju yang
berjatuhan .
Hutan yang indah , gelap , dan dalam,
Tapi aku memiliki janji yang harus ditepati ,
Dan melangkah pergi sebelum aku tidur,
Dan melangkah pergi sebelum aku tidur.
