The woods seem pristine and unimposing‚ however‚ they are described as being "dark and deep"‚ and it is the "darkest evening of the year". He speaks of isolation‚ "between the woods and frozen lake" and of duty "But I have promises to keep". And also‚ Frost’s usage of "sleep" easily implies death. Though this
