Poetic Sound Devices in Frost's Work

Medium Poetry Analysis Sound Devices

Read the following excerpt from a poem:

"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."

In this excerpt from Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," how does the poet use sound devices to enhance the meaning and mood of the poem?

The use of alliteration in 'whos woods' emphasizes the speaker's uncertainty.

The rhyme scheme creates a playful tone that contrasts with the themes of solitude.

The enjambment reflects the natural flow of thought and connects the speaker’s reflection on nature.

The repetition of 'will not see' underscores the tension between the speaker and the owner's authority.

The assonance in 'woods fill up' creates a sense of calm that enhances the tranquil imagery.
