The poet reveals that in the hard struggle of life people may feel tired and desire to have a momentary relief from the obligations of life. Just like he sees the woods and want to stop, but there are still reponsibilities he has to finish. Thus, he has to continuing his "journey".

The theme of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost is contemplation and the contrast between duty and desire. The poet's speaker is tempted to stay and enjoy the peaceful scenery of the winter woods but ultimately chooses to fulfill his responsibilities and continue on his journey.

The theme of "Stopping by Woods On A Snowy Evening" is obviously not a definite one. It is, moreover, the usage of simplicity at its best, insofar one can enjoy the superficial provocation. Deeper meaning can be drawn from the poem, and the beauty of the initial piece is that you can draw the deeper meaning from it. One goes through the poem, seemingly understanding the implications, but then you get to the last two lines: "And miles to go before I sleep/ And miles to go before I sleep" then you think to yourself that there is a deeper meaning. It makes you think of how things must be completed before the man's death (implied by sleep). You then go through the poem again, seeking the deeper meaning with a newfound curiousity and if you look hard enough, you'll find it: be it something plausibly visible to all or something one applies (or conjures and relates to) his or her personal lives.

In the modern world, man is left with no time to enjoy the breathtaking beauties of nature. Nature presents man with a multitude of her creations, the enjoying of which will relieve him of his tedious daily care and anxiety. It is when they are enjoyed to the fill by somebody that a creator of beautiful things gets his relish. At the same time, even if he decides, a man now cannot spend too much time for enjoying the beauties of nature. In the past he certainly could, as Time was cosmic when there was only dawn, noon and dusk. But now time is machine-made and measured in seconds. He has so many duties to perform, besides. So singing the following lines, withdrawing his mind from those scenic beauties for the time being, the dutiful poet resumes his journey, leaving the snow-filling forest behind him to be enjoyed some other time :

The woods are lovely dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep

the woods stands for this world ............

our life on this earth is short.......we only came on the earth to do something but this world is like a forest and there are many tempatation here like sometimes we want to enjoy all things and we indulge in those tempatation and forget our real aim........

i mean what we are doing on the earth.......

as the rider is stopped in the jungle and forget that he has to move forward then his conscience warns him that he should move forward before his death or before his sleep.......

thats the theme of the poem also that we should do our duty first and not to stop till we should not achieve our goal.

I think the woods are just woods. Frost tended to write about the immediacy of his own experience and the thoughts it evoked in him. You could say that the woods represent all the things we'd like to do but can't because we have duties, but I really think you don't need to make it that complicated.
