The storm fear by Robert Frost is a meditation on human limits.

A couple and their son or daughter ("two and a child") are in a rural habitation and and hear the wind and the wildness of nature calling them to come out and join in the scene. It is an impulse toward death (thanatos) common in Frost's poetry. The speaker feels that he gathers strength from the fact that he (if the speaker is ♂) and his wife together ("those of us not asleep") can resist this urge. They are awake and can think this through.

Though aware of how the snow and the fierceness of the weather outside are strong, he still feels its power, and he wonders, such is the remorselessness of the scene, whether they alone can bear to hold out. This doubt may indicate the speaker's emotional fragility, perhaps in the light of the fact that they have no other aids. The poem mentions nothing about faith, religion, or even mutual love. Perhaps against the hard, cruel, cold universe such faith is needed ("save ourselves unaided").

The poem is skeptical, worried, uncertain of how long a person can resist the urge to succumb to death. The speaker wants to be strong but is unsure of his strength. Perhaps that is all a human being, faced with the cold and harsh world / universe, can be.
