The speaker in Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” voices his regret that he won’t be able to wait there in the woods for long. He would love to see and enjoy the beauty of the snow-covered woods for some more time, but unfortunately, he has a long way to go before he sleeps.

The poet was very regretful for leaving the woods as the woods would be his final resting place and he was so enchanted by its beauty. He feels very sad for leaving it but he has to do so because he has many works to accomplish before his death.
