Stopping by Woods on Snowy Evening

"Stopping by Woods on Snowy Evening" describes that a man is temporarily stopping by some woods on a snowy evening and falls into the imagination world, but then realizes that he still has some obligations, so he should not stop. He should continue his journey and keep going on his road. This poem is about imagination world and the real world, which has a nice rhythm and artistic conception that I feel like I am in that woods in the snowy evening. “Woods”, “snow” and “frozen lake” represent relaxation and rest because this is a place far away from the real world, they both provide a silent feeling that lead both the speaker and us into imagination world. On the other side, “village” and “farmhouse” also represent relaxation, stability and rest, because at that moment, the owner of house in the village enjoys his rest in such a snowy evening and feels stable about his rustication. But they are totally different “rest” because “woods”, “snow” and “frozen lake” are from nature and “village” and “farmhouse” are owned by people. It is no doubt that the speaker is stopping by woods on snowy evening because he loves this valuable rest that he can get from nature. But this rest is stopped by his horse because his horse doesn’t know the journey.

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.

There are two challenges when listening to the melody and relates to the past event. Harness bells stopped for some period because of the tension raised on the surface of the downy flake which made the subject break into pieces and not allows the harness bells to make any noise further. It is the same situation like for the death of a person that made silence from the crowd. Another challenge is the use of Farmhouse for relaxation because sometimes, a subject is disappointed and try to live alone instead of with the surroundings. Farmhouse could build tension on some occasions because it allows the subject to make any adverse action and no one can stop the certain course of action. The meanings of these two words can build negative consequences under the process of tensions and relaxation. The melodic shape is going towards the different process, at some point in the start, the melody brings silence to the action because of the heart touching moment that a subject reminded

and thus stop to show respect and rewind the scenario. It helps to re-energize the ability to perform melody quickly and filled no gap due to high emotions evolved and attached with the music until it will come to an end with the stop of a heartbeat. Therefore, such a particular process would help to perform a melody in order to overcome the challenges that would manage the feelings with the designed music.
