The poem describes a traveler who stops in the woods on a snowy evening to watch the woods fill with snow. His horse thinks it's strange to stop without a nearby farm. The traveler enjoys the beauty of the dark woods covered in snow but knows he must continue on his journey before nightfall and sleep, as he has promises to keep and distances yet to travel.
