The Frost On The Window Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGDDHH IIJKLL MMNNOO| Feathery frost on the window pane | A |
| Who placed you there I cannot explain | A |
| Each little feather at once replied | B |
| But this I know I'm the children's pride | B |
| As they think I fell from an angel's wing | C |
| And coming to earth must rich blessings bring | C |
| - | |
| I once formed part of a lovely bay | D |
| The sun shone out and I turned to spray | D |
| And rose aloft on the ambient air | E |
| To the regions high where all is rare | E |
| Then I mingled with my old friends again | F |
| Who were my neighbors in the haunts of men | F |
| - | |
| On the blustering wind I rode along | G |
| Sometimes hard tossed by the tempest strong | G |
| And then at rest as when in the bay | D |
| Though much enlarged the wise savants say | D |
| Though I cannot tell you how long my sleep | H |
| With a chill I woke and began to weep | H |
| - | |
| And my ample form much smaller grew | I |
| By the cold compressed to a drop of dew | I |
| Then down I fell swift as bounding deer | J |
| And knew no more till I fell right here | K |
| But how I became so like a feather | L |
| Is problem I can unravel never | L |
| - | |
| But oh how the sun begins to burn | M |
| I think I must to the clouds return | M |
| Farewell my boy but you must not fret | N |
| We meet again as we now have met | N |
| If not as a feather perhaps a tree | O |
| Or whatever the Wise One may make of me | O |
