EXAMPLE :   Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

                     

                      Whose woods these are I think I know.
                      His house is in the village though;
                      He will not see me stopping here
                      To watch his woods fill up with snow.

                     My little horse must think it queer
                    To stop without a farmhouse near
                     Between the woods and frozen lake
                    The darkest evening of the year.

                    He gives his harness bells a shake
                    To ask if there is some mistake.
                    The only other sound's the sweep
                    Of easy wind and downy flake.

                    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.

SIGNIFICANCE : A stanza is important in a poem because people usually analyze the
                        by stanzas since it is short and has enough words in it.
