Winter poems are a favourite search topic on the Internet.  Every year tens of thousands of searches for winter poems and snow poetry are launched.  How can you explain this high demand?  Perhaps because of the cold, frigid winters, the cold forces people indoors, seeking some explanation for it all by a warm, cozy fireplace  The most popular poem of all for winter is "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.  A rare video of him reading this poem is actually available to view on YouTube.


Here is the poem written down for you to enjoy:

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

by Robert Frost

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.

Robert Frost
