Mike Friel, the principal of Winhall VT Elementary School, where Peter Amidon had his first music teaching job in 1978, asked Peter to work with the students to set this poem to music. A sixth grade boy, Jeremiah, sang his made-up melody for \"Whose woods these are I think I know\" and Peter wrote the rest of the tune.  This song and this arrangement would be perfect for a children's choir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhose woods these are I think I know.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHis house is in the village though;\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHe will not see me stopping here\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTo watch his woods fill up with snow.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMy little horse must think it queer\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTo stop without a farmhouse near\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBetween the woods and frozen lake\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe darkest evening of the year.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHe gives his harness bells a shake\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTo ask if there is some mistake.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe only other sound’s the sweep\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOf easy wind and downy flake.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe woods are lovely, dark and deep,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBut I have promises to keep,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAnd miles to go before I sleep,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAnd miles to go before I sleep.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Amidon Community Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42134638690394,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/amidoncommunitymusic.com\/products\/stopping-by-the-woods-robert-frost","provider":"Amidon Community Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
