Robert FrostDESERT PLACESSnow falling and night falling fast, oh, fastIn a field I looked into going past,And the ground almost covered smooth in snow,But a few weeds and stubble showing last.The woods around it have it it is theirs. All animals are smothered in their lairs.I am too absent-spirited to count;The loneliness includes me unawares.And lonely as it is that lonelinessWill be more lonely ere it will be less A blanker whiteness of benighted snowWith no expression, nothing to express.They cannot scare me with their empty spacesBetween stars on stars where no human race is.I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places.Post a response of at least 150 words.Identify a number of key images in the poem which you believe are vital to understanding it and provide a detailed discussion of how those images function in the poem.
