Robert Frost

"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."

The last stanza of Robert Frost's

" Stopping by woods on a snowy evening ". I credit this poem for getting me interested in poetry, I loved the beauty of its simplicity yet for me it expressed something so profound about life... for we all have miles to go before we sleep. (When I first read it, I nearly cried.)
