Jack Frost Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB BBCC BBBB DDEE| Oh it is little Margery who has a garden bed | A |
| Wherein grow purple pansies and geraniums white and red | A |
| With feverfew and dahlias and delicate pink phlox | B |
| And grandmother's fair favorites old fashioned hollyhocks | B |
| - | |
| One night we feared Jack Frost might come to blight the tender flowers | B |
| We almost felt his cruel breath in the early evening hours | B |
| So Margery took coverings and spread them thick and warm | C |
| To shield the flowers as blankets wrap a sleeping baby's form | C |
| - | |
| Then in the morning when we looked across the dewy grass | B |
| And saw the traces Jack Frost leaves where he is wont to pass | B |
| For each spreading tree and slender bush had felt his chill caress | B |
| And some had drooped and some had blushed in crimson loveliness | B |
| - | |
| We hastened to the garden bed and there in bright array | D |
| The little flowers looked blithely up to greet the smiling day | D |
| Safe hid from Jack Frost's piercing breath he never saw them there | E |
| And the flowers still bloom for Margery to thank her for her care | E |
