Walking Through the Woods on a Snowy Evening.

Helps that I put it to a melody.

Stopping, not Walking.

da

Yeah, "walking through" doesn't even make any fucking sense wrt the entire point of the poem. It's about how a guy pauses briefly by a wood (which confuses his horse) while sleighing through the countryside at night and regrets that he can't stop long or go into them or walk through them or any shit like that, because "I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep."

It's not even an understandable mis-remembering.

imo its an understandable misremembering because "stopping through" is not a phrase really used today but "walking through" is. And if they had to memorize it for school the point of the poem might not still resonate with them.

It's "Stopping By Woods", not "Stopping Through Woods" "Stopping Through" is not a phrase that has ever been used, today or in the past.

I have definitely heard the phrase "just stopping through" used in casual speech
