Question

The message of poem the woods are lovely poem by robert frost meaning

Answer 1

Robert Frost, when asked if the poem had anything to do with death or suicide, denied it, preferring to keep everyone guessing by simply saying 'No', but many think that the poem can be construed as a dream-like image of someone passing away, or saying a final goodbye.

In many ways it's a poem that trusts the reader, the words and the sounds and the sense appealing to all types, from those who regard it as no more than a winter scene with snowy woods, horse and rider, to others who feel a shudder when they read the final two lines.

It is this ambiguity that keeps the poem fresh. The narrative sets up this subtle tension between the timeless attraction of the lovely woods and the pressing obligations of present time.
