POEM 1.
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.
2.
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.
POEM 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.
4.
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.
CENTRAL IDEA This poem conveys the idea that this world is full of temptations. We should guard ourselves against these temptations if we want to achieve our aim. The rider in the poem is passing through a beautiful forest. He is tempted by the sight of the snow-fall. He decides to break his journey to enjoy its loveliness. But he remembers his promises made by him. He rejects the idea of rest and enjoyment. Therefore man should prefer duty to rest and work to enjoyment in life.
Whose woods …….…...…with snow. CONTEXT: These lines has been taken from the poem “STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING” written by Robert Frost. The poem conveys the idea that this world is full of temptations. We should guard ourselves against these temptations if we want to achieve our goal.
My Little …….…….………of the year.
EXPLANATIONS: A rider is passing through a beautiful forest. He says that he knows the owner of the woods. The house of the owner is not in the woods. He lives at some village. He will not see the rider if he stops there to watch the woods covered with snow. In other words, the rider feels tempted to see the sight of snowfall at night.
My Little …….…….………of the year.
EXPLANATIONS: A rider is passing through a beautiful forest. He stops in the woods to see the sight of snowfall at night.

It is also the darkest darkest evening of the year.
He gives …….,,…………downy flake.
EXPLANATIONS: A rider is passing through a forest and stops to see the sight of snowfall. His horse thinks it strange to stop there. The rider tells us that his horse shakes the bells attached to the harness. He wants to suggest that it is not advisable to stop there. There is deep silence in the forest. This silence is disturbed by the sound of the bells. The only other sound is of snowfall and breezes.
The woods ………….…………I sleep. EXPLANATIONS: A rider is passing through a beautiful forest. He stops in the woods to see the sight of snowfall. Then he remembers his promises which he has made. He changes his mind and decides to continue with the journey. The rider says that the woods are beautiful, dark and thick. But he has promises to fulfill. He has to go for miles yet.
The woods ……….……………I sleep.
EXPLANATIONS: Therefore, he can’t stop to rest or enjoy. These lines were favorite with Pt. Jawaharlal Lal Nehru, The first Prime Minister of INDIA.
