Read the last stanza of the poem:

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.

• make the speaker seem forgetful and less smart than earlier in the poem

• make the reader pay special attention to the meaning of the line

• make the speaker seem like he or she is already asleep
