Jack Frost Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI JGJG KLKL MNON FPQP| The 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 |
