Read and Understand a Poem

To watch the woods fill up with snow

to find food for his or her horse

to say hello to the owner of the woods

to go skating on a frozen lake

in the woods on a bright, snowy afternoon

in a village on a dark, snowy evening

by a frozen lake on a bright, snowy afternoon

near the woods on a dark, snowy evening

the woods are far away from the village

the woods are near some houses

the owner of the woods is friends with the speaker of the poem

the speaker of the poem does not like the owner of the woods

the freezing, harsh wind

the cold, snowy weather

the darkness of the evening

promises the speaker needs to keep

the fear of staying too long on someone else's land

the pull of sleeping in nature against the pull of sleeping at home

the pull of being alone in nature against the pull of responsibility

the ability of nature to make a person feel tired and sleepy
