: If anyone knows the true meaning of the poem, "stopping by woods on a snowy evening", i would really appreciate you e-mailling it to me asap.
: Thanks a lot, it would be greatly appreciated.
: Sarah Burke :o)
I agree with the idea that the poem is about suicide. Contemplating it myself, I find "The woods are lovely, dark and deep" to mean he's attracted to the dark (death). However, he convinces himself not to commit suicide because of the promises (bonds with friends and family)he has to keep. The last two lines have the double meaning of miles to go before he sleeps and the things in rest of his life that must be accomplished.
