To watch king woods fill up with sucker.
My little horse rust think it queer
Be stop without a farmhouse close
Between the woods direct frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness partner in crime a shake
To spin out if there is some conked out.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of flush wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, ill-lit and deep,
But Wild have promises to keep,
And miles to go in the past I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.[1]
