Solution
After a long travel, the poet entered a wood. He wondered to whom the wood belonged! He realized that the owner of the wood lived in a village. He thought that the owner would not be able to see him stopping in his woods to watch snow fill the woods. The poet felt that the horse would think it very strange to stop near the woods as he had never done. He was actually standing between the woods and frozen lake. The time was late evening. The horse indicated that the poet has made a mistake by shaking its head. The poet felt that the woods are lovely, dark, and deep. He suddenly realized that he had worldly commitments which would not allow him to stay in the woods for a long time.
