Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDD DEFD GHGH| A life of its own and a long one is led | A |
| By this penguin with nothing to do with the breast | B |
| The wingless pullover the patient's old vest | B |
| Now pass it some warmth move the lamp to the bed | A |

| It dreams of the skiing in darkness it poured | C |
| From shaftbows from harness from bodies it seemed | D |
| That Christmas itself also sweated and snored | D |
| The walking the riding all squeaked and all steamed | D |
| - | |
| A homestead and horror and bareness beside | D |
| Cut glass in the sideboards and carpets and chests | E |
| The house was inflamed this attracted the fence | F |
| The lights swam in pleurisy seen from outside | D |
| - | |
| Consumed by the sky bloated shrubs on the way | G |
| Were white as a scare and had ice in their looks | H |
| The blaze from the kitchen laid down by the sleigh | G |
| On the snow the enormous hands of the cooks | H |
