Myron in Winter
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.
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.
(Brrrr...to whisper this poem in the wind and to the snow, I needed to wear Trasgo's warm coat of hermine!)

I always thought it was appropriate that the author of this poem was Robert *Frost* ...So lovely, thank you for sharing this!
How very handsome, my beloved!... rushing off to the armoire in search of her red winter cloak ~ or perhaps, the black? ...
