[导读]《雪夜林畔小驻》（"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"）是现代英语始终公认的短篇杰作。此诗之难能可贵，在于意境含蓄，用语天然，而格律严谨。意境则深入浅出，貌似写景，却别有寓意。
这首《雪夜林前小驻》所描写的情景不用解释，但它后面的情趣、哲理、魅力，需要细细品位－－我独自站在树林边沿，里面有一种东西在吸引我，但不能光听内心世界的召唤，我还要许多世间的约会、责任: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
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (1923)
－－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.
