Um, it consists of four stanzas of five lines. The rhyme scheme is ABAAB; the rhymes are strict and masculine, with the notable exception of the last line (we do not usually stress the -ence of the difference). There are four stressed syllables pe line, varying on an iambic tetrameter base.

Robert Frost's poem has the structure of a lyric poem. If you think about it, this poem could be put to some music and be sung, just like song lyrics.
