Explanation:
First, the speaker in the poem is not necessarily ‘the poet’. In fact, probably not. Writers, especially poets, often create a fictional persona to be the narrator of their works. There is no basis to assume that Robert Frost ever had the exact experience that he writes about in that poem. Now, if the question is how did the narrator come to the village, I would say we don’t know that he/she ever did. There is nothing in the poem to indicate that the narrator had come from the village, was going to the village, or had ever been in the village.
