I took it that the poem had meaning for him -- while his drug addiction may have been 'lovely, dark, and deep', he now has 'promises to keep' to Watson, Alfredo, Gregson, to himself... to stay sober. And he still has 'miles to go' in his continuing struggle to stay sober. Maybe that reading's too literal, but I did find it very moving and thought it fit the moment really well. I'm sure he was also moved that Joan had found something that resonated so well with his situation.
