Jack Frost Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

The door was shut as doors should beA
Before you went to bed last nightB
Yet Jack Frost has got in you seeA
And left your window silver whiteB
-
He must have waited till you sleptC
And not a single word he spokeD
But pencilled o'er the panes and creptC
Away again before you wokeD
-
And now you cannot see the hillsE
Nor fields that stretch beyond the laneF
But there are fairer things than theseG
His fingers traced on every paneF
-
Rocks and castles towering highH
Hills and dales and streams and fieldsI
And knights in armor riding byH
With nodding plumes and shining shieldsI
-
And here are little boats and thereJ
Big ships with sails spread to the breezeG
And yonder palm trees waving fairJ
On islands set in silver seasG
-
And butterflies with gauzy wingsK
And herds of cows and flocks of sheepL
And fruit and flowers and all the thingsK
You see when you are sound asleepL
-
For creeping softly underneathM
The door when all the lights are outN
Jack Frost takes every breath you breatheO
And knows the things you think aboutN
-
He paints them on the window paneF
In fairy lines with frozen steamP
And when you wake you see againQ
The lovely things you saw in dreamP
