Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDDCCCCEEEEEEFFE AEA| When cold December | A |
| Froze to grisamber | A |
| The jangling bells on the sweet rose trees | B |
| Then fading slow | C |
| And furred is the snow | C |
| As the almond's sweet husk | D |
| And smelling like musk | D |
| The snow amygdaline | C |
| Under the eglantine | C |
| Where the bristling stars shine | C |
| Like a gilt porcupine | C |
| The snow confesses | E |
| The little Princesses | E |
| On their small chioppines | E |
| Dance under the orpines | E |
| See the casuistries | E |
| Of their slant fluttering eyes | E |
| Gilt as the zodiac | F |
| Dancing Herodiac | F |
| Only the snow slides | E |
| Like gilded myrrh | A |
| From the rose branches hides | E |
| Rose roots that stir | A |
