know, though, snow
here, queer, near, year
lake, shake, mistake, flake
sweep, deep, keep, sleep
I know in Michigan Though there will be snow!
I did not see it here or there, I did not see that queer go near, it has not been even one year.
I live by the lake, while sipping a shake, I made a mistake, it was not a shake but a little white flake.
I need to sweep, the snow thats deep, theres no time for sleep, and nothing to keep!
Sorry, I tried.......

Well this is trash...but I think it has all your words.
Though I know
it might snow,
and appear queer
to you dear.
It happens here at the lake
near this time of year.
Make no mistake, you will shake,
as you watch each flake.
They keep falling deep
as I sweep you to a place
to fall into sleep.

the snow I know is growing near
comes around every year
through I found it queer
when none had come around last year
everything froze maybe there was some mistake
as I looked on this scene I started to shake
a flake flew past
sweep it away was my thought
so i tried hard to keep it away but more came
which sent me into a deep sleep
from which i feared i may never awake
or so i thought till i
realized i had fallen in the lake
comes around every year
through I found it queer
when none had come around last year
everything froze maybe there was some mistake
as I looked on this scene I started to shake
a flake flew past
sweep it away was my thought
so i tried hard to keep it away but more came
which sent me into a deep sleep
from which i feared i may never awake
or so i thought till i
realized i had fallen in the lake

Not everyday heart brake you know,
Acting as if everything is fine though,
Yet the misery leaves you cold as snow
Strong feelings engulf me as I stand here,
Leaving me void and a little queer,
Yet the thought of you being near,
Could leave me happy year by year
I look in your eyes as into a lake,
With envy and yearning my soul shake,
Hoping and praying it isn't a mistake,
And knowing in my heart I won't be a flake
You off your feet will I sweep,
And express love in my heart deep,
Willing for ever you to keep,
Even after the long long sleep
Acting as if everything is fine though,

With envy and yearning my soul shake,
Hoping and praying it isn't a mistake,
And knowing in my heart I won't be a flake
You off your feet will I sweep,
And express love in my heart deep,
Willing for ever you to keep,
Even after the long long sleep

Life is not all that simple you know..
even though you think it is real,
you can become snowbound...trapped
in what you think is a summer.
I am here, you are there, we are nowhere
it is queer how the circle can be broken,
the end for me is near, rushing closer...
through the sadness of my year.
I gaze across the lake, frozen inside,
my legs shake and I can't feel..you, anymore.
Has all my life has been a mistake?
a flake of snow touches my lips.
I sweep it from them..it is not you.
How did I get myself in so deep?
a deep kiss from you and I fell...
into this...my eternal sleep...

Slightly off topic 
Silent farts by Purple Ronnie
They're silent as a tiny mouse
They do not make a sound
They warm up in your trousers legs
and waft for miles around.

Though I know there will be snow this year
I can't help thinking it will not be here
I could be wrong, have made a mistake
It's just a feeling I can not shake
I look out at the lake, I know it's deep
yet this queer feeling I still keep
I search the sky for a single flake
I can not find what path to take
I am ready to renew; make a clean sweep
Yet I can not wake from this sleep
I know there will be snow this year
I am just dreaming it will not be here.

Well it looks like I wasn't clear enough on my instructions. The idea was to post the actual poem these words came from. Instead you wonderful people dug into your creative pantry and came up with some really beautiful poems. I am impressed with the quality of writing I've read here kudos to everyone who took the time and wrote poems using the words I provided.
so far I have to give first prize to FIRSTLIGHT. Her poem has structure, meter and follows a logical thread. It also has a nice rhythm to it.
Here is the actual poem I was looking for.
Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening
By Robert Frost
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.

Well thank you kind sir. I kind of thought that you were looking for an existing poem but just decided to join the bandwagon. As it turns out, a much better idea for a thread/game, at least for those of us participating.

Doorstep
I know,
Though falling
Snow obscures
That here,
Though queer,
Near a year,
Drowned in the lake,
The windy trees shake,
Accusing my mistake,
And a cold coconut flake,
On doorstep I will sweep,
The drifting snow is deep,
And the silence I will keep,
As in Earth you forever sleep.

I realised you were looking for the original poem but figured I would add my two cents.
A special challenge as I write from start to finish without stopping so any rhymes that occur are serendipitous.
know, though, snow
here, queer, near, year
lake, shake, mistake, flake
sweep, deep, keep, sleep
You never know, though,
snow could fall here,
queer in the tropics; yet
hailstones fell near
just last year
surprising everyone
as they splashed
into the lake that rose
after the shake and shift
of earth one could mistake
for armageddon; it caused
the rock to flake, sweep dust
across the landscape mounding deep
in all the ditches that keep the
water flowing,soft sussuration,
while I sleep.
Fun thread.

pump me full of lead?
then i'd be surely dead
you would have won 1st place
and you'd be crowned an Ace
were it not for the mistake
of spelling break as brake
LOLOLOLOL
All in good fun eh?
Gee, I never thought poetry could be dangerous to your health.
Ah the thankless life of a critic.

Dangit, I knew it was Robert Frost, I should of posted earlier.....
Anyway, for kicks, I'll give this a whirl.....
I know that though it seems the snow
Has brought the gray you fear
And here, where darkness seems to grow
The queerness of lonesome years
That cut you deep with mistakes we sow
Sadly, comfort in night is near
The lake that sat tranquil, now foe
We shake our jealousy clear
It's something deep that drives us, so
To keep steadfast to cheer
And when we see those flakes yet blow
We hide in sleep
And in a loved dream we steer
Anyway, for kicks, I'll give this a whirl.....

Your job, should you chose to accept it, is to supply the poem these words are extracted from. Sounds easy? For some it may be too easy, for others, impossible. Don't cheat!
Good luck.
