Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHI| Regal the earth seems with diamonds today | A |
| Gemming all nature in blazing array | A |
| A picture more fairy like never could be | B |
| Than this wonderful icicle filigree | B |
| - | |
| A crystallized world What a marvelous sight | C |
| Gorgeous and grand in the March sunlight | C |
| The frost king magician has changed the spring showers | D |
| To turquois and topaz and sapphire bowers | D |
| - | |
| And what is the lesson we learn from the sleet | E |
| As toiling life's road with wearying feet | E |
| Upward we strive but failing so oft | F |
| In the struggles that bear us aright and aloft | F |
| - | |
| 'Tis this that the hard breath of winter's chill blast | G |
| Alone can this mantle of loveliness cast | G |
| And thus our sharp winds of trial may prove | H |
| Angels to weave us bright garments of love | I |
