Desert Places by Robert Frost (289)

Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast

In 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 loneliness

Will be more lonely ere it will be less--

A blanker whiteness of benighted snow

With no expression, nothing to express.

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces

Between 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.

Robert Frost

Robert Frost's Desert Places is a poem is full of imagery of loneliness, reflecting the narrators own sense of isolation. The narrator paints a picture of desolation, as slowly the barren field is enveloped by the falling snow. "I am too absent-spirited to count," supports the idea that the emotions of the narrator are represented by the bleak scenery.
A second aspect of the poem that adds meaning is the structure. The poem is in four verses, each slowly adding to the depressed mood. This structure breaks up the thoughts of the narrator, but is connected by the rhyme in the first, second, and fourth lines of each verse. 
My personal interpretation of this poem is that the narrator is suffering an episode in his life that is very depressed and empty. This loneliness prevents the narrator from appreciating the beauty and purity of fresh fallen snow. The narrator is leading a bleak life, and fails to see the beauty of nature.
