　　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.

                　　余光中译
       
       
                　　想来我认识这座森林，
       
       
                　　林主的庄宅就在邻村,
       
       
                　　却不会见我在此驻马，
       
       
                　　看他林中积雪的美景。
       
       
                　　我的小马一定颇惊讶：
       
       
                　　四望不见有什么农家，
       
       
                　　偏是一年最暗的黄昏，
       
       
                　　寒林和冰湖之间停下。
       
       
                　　它摇一摇身上的串铃，
       
       
                　　问我这地方该不该停。
       
       
                　　此外只有轻风拂雪片，
       
       
                　　再也听不见其他声音。
       
       
                　　森林又暗又深真可羡，
       
       
                　　但我还要守一些诺言，
       
       
                　　还要赶多少路才安眠，
       
       
                　　还要赶多少路才安眠。
       
       
                　　About the poet:
       
       
                　　Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) was an American poet. He is highly regarded for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech. His work frequently employed settings from rural life in New England in the early twentieth century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes.
       
       
                　　Notes:
       
       
                　　The poem is written in iambic tetrameter in the Rubaiyat stanza created by Edward Fitzgerald. Each verse (save the last) follows an a-a-b-a rhyming scheme, with the following verse's a's rhyming with that verse's b, which is a chain rhyme. Overall, the rhyme scheme is AABA-BBCB-CCDC-DDDD. Imagery and personification are prominent in the work.
