I think this poem is very precious to me because it conveys the beauty of
our nature or the sudden realisation of the beauty of our natural world.
The poet write that he had promise to keep and maintain the wonderful our
nature.

the poem depicts the loneliness and insecurities in every man's life at
certain stage of life.Even though we are surrounded by men around us in all
walks of life ,sometimes, perhaps we feel lonely and depressed because we
have nobody to share our feelings .It is then wefeel depressed and want to
wander in the woods as how the poet feels .But life has to go on,there is
no stopping.I Wish ,I,were the horse,though.(SIGH).But one cannot admire
the woods if one was a horse.

When I first read this poem, I thought it was just about stopping by the
woods. But it wasn't until I started feeling depressed that I found a new
meaning: suicide. Frost uses the woods to symbolize death, and it seems to
draw him in... Intrigue him, even. Sleep, of course, is meant to mean the
act of suicide. "... But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I
sleep, miles to go before I sleep." the miles are the rest of his life, and
we see that he wants to get there/ reach his destination (death), but
there's something keeping him from going into the woods.... He has miles
left to go,after all.

Having first read this poem some fifty years ago, I had never forgotten the
lines. I have not counted how many times I or some of my friends have
referred to this poem or recited the lines. I just read the poem once again
and feel the same as when I first read it.

I'm doing an exam and the poetry of Robert Frost is an element on it. I've
studied "After Apple-Picking" and this poem, because it is my favorite. I
believe the woods symbolise death, and it is seducing him although he has
obligations to humans in the world. The poem does not end with him moving
either way so the reader is left questioning where he went. I do not
believe him choosing to stay in the woods is suicide but letting himself go
peacefully. This meaning can be found through the symbolism and form of the
poem.
