Whose woods these are I think I know.
我想我认得这座森林，
His house is in the village though;
林主的房子就在前村；
He will not see me stopping here
却看不见我在此歇马，
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
看他林中飘满的雪景。

My little horse must think it queer
我的小马一定很惊讶，
To stop without a farmhouse near
周围望不见什么人家，
Between the woods and frozen lake
竟在寒林与冰湖之间，
The darkest evening of the year.
一年里最幽暗的黄昏停下。

He gives his harness bells a shake
马儿摇响身上的串铃，
To ask if there is some mistake.
仿佛询问是否走错路途。
The only other sound’s the sweep
四下唯有风声簌簌，
Of easy wind and downy flake.
微风卷着轻柔的雪花。

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
森林迷人，幽暗幽深，
But I have promises to keep,
可我尚有诺言必须信守，
And miles to go before I sleep,
入眠之前仍有长路要奔赴，
And miles to go before I sleep.
入眠之前仍有长路要奔赴。
