An Invitation To Recite

A Lovely Invitation For You!

During the month of February I am giving Captain Kids the opportunity to memorize Robert Frost's poem, Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening...if you wish. If you can recite it to me perfectly, you will get a copy of the poem with an illustration that was created by a former Captain student. Maybe you can get a parent, sister, brother or grandparent to help you. It will be fun!

(I have copies of the poem in the art studio...just ask)
 

  Stopping By 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 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.
