Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost is written in a masculine rhyme with a strict iambic tetrameter. Its four quatrains use very descriptive language, a very strict rhyming scheme*, and techniques such as alliteration and repetition, demonstrating Frost's masterful skill with the English language. This poem is a classic because of its superficial simplicity and underlying complexity. On the surface, it's about a man who takes a moment to pause and reflect on his life and nature while travelling through the woods on a snowy night. On a deeper level, the poem is a testament to existentialism. His main theme is that by taking in an especially picturesque scene of nature, one experiences his own free will and the arbitrariness of his decisions, and he realizes the importance of personal responsibility and discipline.

*It has the rhyme scheme:
