Jack Frost Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI JGJG KLKL MNON FPQPThe door was shut as doors should be | A |
Before you went to bed last night | B |
Yet Jack Frost has got in you see | A |
And left your window silver white | B |
- | |
He must have waited till you slept | C |
And not a single word he spoke | D |
But pencilled o'er the panes and crept | C |
Away again before you woke | D |
- | |
And now you cannot see the hills | E |
Nor fields that stretch beyond the lane | F |
But there are fairer things than these | G |
His fingers traced on every pane | F |
- | |
Rocks and castles towering high | H |
Hills and dales and streams and fields | I |
And knights in armor riding by | H |
With nodding plumes and shining shields | I |
- | |
And here are little boats and there | J |
Big ships with sails spread to the breeze | G |
And yonder palm trees waving fair | J |
On islands set in silver seas | G |
- | |
And butterflies with gauzy wings | K |
And herds of cows and flocks of sheep | L |
And fruit and flowers and all the things | K |
You see when you are sound asleep | L |
- | |
For creeping softly underneath | M |
The door when all the lights are out | N |
Jack Frost takes every breath you breathe | O |
And knows the things you think about | N |
- | |
He paints them on the window pane | F |
In fairy lines with frozen steam | P |
And when you wake you see again | Q |
The lovely things you saw in dream | P |
