â€Å"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening† a Review English 102 Liberty University 4/21/2014 Poetry Thesis and Outline While reviewing â€Å"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening†, it should be noted that the key is the rhythm of the language.

In closing the final sentence of the second stanza Frost reiterates the fact that this occurs on â€Å"the darkest evening of the year† stating the darkness of the mood. In the following stanza Frost returns to the horse, which â€Å"gives his harness bells a shake†. This is the first of only two sounds listed in the entire poem. Sounds might normally be associated with a person in a lighter more jovial mood. Frost uses the lack of sound to put the narrator into what appears to be a deep process of thought. As the poem moves further allon it is clear that Frost is not thinking of other sounds or even the feelings which would be associated with this type of event. There is no mention of the temperature only the implication of the snow falling, and the frozen lake. Yet the sounds are slightly present, similar to an athlete who is preparing for the event. Frost is quiet, internalizing his thoughts, focusing on the task at hand, and not sensing the other areas of life in the world around him. In the fourth and final stanza Frost uses the riming of all four sentences to draw the reader into the climax of the poem, â€Å"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†.
