The poem is about someone who wants to be in heaven and is thinking about his afterlife. he wants to die now but he has miles and miles to go before he sleeps, and has promises to keep. Frost is probably using figurative language to describe someone in a cementary, visiting

One of Robert Frost’s most valuable things in life was spending time with his family. In the poem “Stopping by Woodson a Snowy Evening” it talks about going through harsh and difficult times just to get where he wanted to be. He put this in a direct relationship with life itself. He would push through the difficult times to get to the other side just to be with his family and where he was the happiest. When you are a writer you go through many obstacles. Not all of our writing will be approved and successful but the true test is to get back up and try again. This is exactly what Robert Frost believed in and he experienced it first hand.
