This is far from the greatest poem ever written, but it’s a gorgeous poem and I love it. It makes me feel I’m there in the dark woods with the cold air and the starry sky. And it’s snowing outside and I love reading Frost when it snows - ThreadSky

Thanks for posting. It's been awhile since I've read it.

Thanks for sharing. It's been too long since I last read Frost.

Can't think of another poem that conveys the stillness and beauty of a snowfall better than this. And how often have I quoted the last lines..

The last lines are wonderful and mysterious

This is the poem that Eric Whitacre set music to in 2000 for a choral piece, but it was still under copyright so had to find new lyrics, and so 'Sleep' was born in it's place: a worthy substitution, and a beautiful result... https://youtu.be/GeLW43SqqbA?si=WydbUvF19ujU03xx

...you can follow the pattern of the original poem to the rhythm of the piece; it's just magical. 😊
