* HollywoodNewEngland: Frost was the TropeCodifier and possibly the TropeMaker for Hollywood New England, and it's a running theme throughout this collection. Poem after poem deals with stuff like snow falling in the woods and farmers working stony fields and crusty old villagers and the first blooms of spring.

* SecondPersonNarration: "The Valley's Singing Day" is addressed to "you" and talks about how you awakened "the first song-bird" and thus started all the birds singing in the morning.
Added DiffLines:
* SnowMeansDeath: "The Onset" has the speaker likening the first snowfall of winter to the acceptance of death. That image is subverted however when the speaker notes that spring always comes, so life triumphs over death.

Added DiffLines:
* LyricalShoehorn: Not all of Frost's poems rhyme, but when he wanted to make them rhyme he didn't hesitate to scramble standard English word order. The first line of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is "Whose woods these are I think I know", which allows it to rhyme with the second line, "His house is in the village though."

* FlyingBroomstick: "The Pauper Witch of Grafton" how her non-magic husband used to watch her fly home on her broomstick.
Added DiffLines:
* LovecraftCountry: "The Witch of Coös" takes an unusual for Frost turn into horror, as an old witch tells of how her husband came home, killed the man that she was having sex with, and buried him in the basement, only for the bones to dig themselves out of the grave later.

!!Tropes:
* AbandonedArea: "The Census-Taker" is about a census taker who comes to a house, finds it abandoned, and wonders what happened to the ten loggers who used to live there.
* CulturalPosturing: Opening poem "New Hampshire" mocks people who brag about how whichever state they come from is the best. He claims to have met a Californian who claimed his state's weather was so beautiful that "none had ever died there/A natural death".
* DeathByChildbirth: "Maple" is addressed to the speaker's granddaughter; her mother (and his daughter) died in childbirth. (Robert Frost's daughter Marjorie died of complications from childbirth at the age of 29. But the granddaughter in question was also named Marjorie.)
* GrailInTheGarbage: "A Star in a Stone-Boat" muses about how at some point, at some place and time, some person must have picked up a meteorite which fell from the sky, and used it to build a wall.
* HotWitch: In "New Hampshire" Frost calls his state's only witch "old style". Then he remembers a young Wiccan he met in Boston and says she "was young, and beautiful (new style)."
* InsuranceFraud: "The Star-Splitter" has Frost quite casually mention a friend of his who, after failing at farming, "burned his house down for the fire insurance." Everyone in town knows this and finds it amusing.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: When mentioning New Hampshire's only president UsefulNotes/FranklinPierce Frost says "pronounce him Purse", then rhymes it with "worse" while insulting Pierce.
* ShortTitleLongElaborateSubtitle: The book is actually called ''New Hampshire: A Poem With Notes and Grace Notes''
* TakeThat: Frost says of Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire that "He's your one chance to score against the state." (Historians would agree that Pierce was a uniquely terrible president.)
* WhamLine: "New Hampshire", the first and by far longest poem in the collection, is a droll tribute to his home state. After an extended portrait of his wacky state and the weird people within it and how he wishes the mountains were taller and how New Yorkers are arrogant, Frost ends with the following line:
--> "At present I am living in Vermont."
