"Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" -- a classic. Just a great poem.
The rhyme scheme is awesome: aaba bbcb ccdc dddd -- that's a master of the craft.
Thanks for asking about this one, it was fun to read it again.

The poem is :
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
It was hugely admired by Jawaharlal Nehru - especially the last stanza.
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's 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's 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.
[ The poet's THE ROAD NOT TAKEN is also eqully admirable.]

It is called:
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
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's 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's 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.

It is called "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." Others already gave you the words, so i'll just say that it is a wonderful poem. I memorized it as a child. Glad you love it too.
