The question ask me to analyze the rhyme scheme and meter in "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," Please help me if you know, 'cause I don't have idea about it. Thanks you!!


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.

It's iambic pentameter, similar to Shakespeare's Sonnets and blank verses. Rhyming scheme is triple.
 
well the rhyme is aaba bbcb ccdc dddd. and there is 8 syllable in each line, it's almost like iambic pentameter, but it's not.
