"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" By Robert Frost

This poem is talking about the auther talking about how he stops at the woods where someone clames thm and he stops by to remanince these woods. While he is at these woods, the person isnt there because he is in the village. The person who is in the woods won't see the author there and watch the woods fill up with snow. When he is talking about his horse and his horse being "queer", he means that he is unusually different with the surrounding becuase he is use to going to a farm house. Inside the lake, there is a frozen lake and this is the darkest evening of the year.
The deeper meaning of this poem is that there is a man who is going by the woods and he realizes no one has been there to take care of it. The owner is to busy in the village. i think they are comparing the woods to the country, and the village to the city. And with being in the village, you like is more hectic then being in the woods. With the guy, he is too busy to leave the village and spend sometime at the woods. With having the author there and having the woods fill up with snow, symbolizes that noone cares. This shows that the snow is kinda in a since like garbage. If you dont pick it up, or take care of the place the garbage will add up untill there is nothing you can do about it. With the part of the poem where he describes how there is a frozen lake in the middle of the woods and how it is the darkest season of the year, this is basically saying how if people took care of the place they will see the real beauty inside, but if noone does, it will freeze up and become ugly.
