The Waits Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DECC FGCC GHCC| Frost in the air and music in the air | A |
| And the singing is sweet in the street | B |
| She wakes from a dream to a dream O hark | C |
| The singing so faint in the dark | C |
| - | |
| The musicians come and stand at the door | D |
| A fiddler and singers three | E |
| And one with a bright lamp thrusts at the dark | C |
| And the music comes sudden O hark | C |
| - | |
| She hears the singing as sweet as a dream | F |
| And the fiddle that climbs to the sky | G |
| With head 'neath the curtain she stares out O hark | C |
| The music so strange in the dark | C |
| - | |
| She listens and looks and sees but the sky | G |
| While the fiddle is sweet in the porch | H |
| And she sings back into the singing dark | C |
| Hark herald angels hark | C |
