A deceptive poem, "Stopping..." begins rather innocently: simple rhymes
describing a brief pause in the narrator's light, horse-carriage evening
journey through a peaceful, snowy forest. But then come the final lines,
four stanzas that convey the impression of staring into an abyss, or of
wandering endlessly into a deep and unfanthomable blankness.
A very clever, ominous, and powerful poem, indeed.

I have heard this poem/song a lot in my life and i really think that this
poem has a deep meaning into it besides just having someone stop in the
woods. The poem is saying to have courage and to take chances. this poem
really inspired me.

This is one of my favorite poem and I have kept the last stanza "Woods are
lovely ....before I sleep" beside my work place. It used to give me
inspiration when I was a student and still gives me the same inspiration at
this age of 42.
Although it is difficult to stick to our goal in this fast changing world,
at least we can get some courage from this poem.

I learned this poem somewhere between 5 to 10 years ago. I think that this
is one of the best poems I've ever read in my life.

My english teacher, a big, bald, irishman, says that this poem is about
Santa Claus. He says Santa is delivering presents, that is the "promise" he
must keep. The miles to go before he sleeps are the many houses he must
visit to give presents to. The horses harness bells are really sleigh
bells. Its quiet because everyone is sleeping and waiting for Santa to
come. No suicide here... can anyone argue against that logic> (>.>) lol...
