The mason singing his, as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work;
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat–the deckhand singing on the
steamboat deck;
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench–the hatter singing as he stands;
The wood-cutter’s song–the ploughboy’s, on his way in the morning, or at the noon
Intermission, or at sundown,
The delicious singing of the mother–or of the young wife at work–or of the girl sewing or
Washing–Each singing what belongs to her and to none else,
The day what belongs to the day–At night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing, with open mouths, their strong melodious songs.

It’s called "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost and here’s how it goes:

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.

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.
