2. Stopping by the 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 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.

16. Kar Yağarken Ormana
bu koruluklar kimin, sanırım biliyorum ama köyde duruyor sahibi korulukların; durup seyrettiğimi görmeyecek burada nasıl bütün ormanı kapladığını karın. atım da şaşmış olmalı durmama bir çiftlik bile yokken yakında, arasında donmuş gölle koruların yılın bu en karanlık akşamında. şöyle bir sarsıyor başıyla dizginlerini acaba yanıldım mı diye. bunun dışında duyulan tek ses esen yelle yağan kar ince ince. korular çok güzel, karanlık, derin, ama verilmiş sözüm var benim, ve uyumadan önce millerce yol gideceğim, ve uyumadan önce millerce yol gideceğim.
