Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCCB DDD EEEB FFFGHHHG IBBJKKKJ LLLHMMM| Today I opened wide my eyes | A |
| And stared with wonder and surprise | A |
| To see beneath November skies | A |
| An apple blossom peer | B |
| Upon a branch as bleak as night | C |
| It gleamed exultant on my sight | C |
| A fairy beacon burning bright | C |
| Of hope and cheer | B |

| 'Alas ' said I 'poor foolish thing | D |
| Have you mistaken this for Spring | D |
| Behold the thrush has taken wing | D |
| And Winter's near ' | - |
| Serene it seemed to lift its head | E |
| 'The Winter's wrath I do not dread | E |
| Because I am ' it proudly said | E |

| 'Some apple blossom must be first | F |
| With beauty's urgency to burst | F |
| Into a world for joy athirst | F |
| And so I dare | G |
| And I shall see what none shall see | H |
| December skies gloom over me | H |
| And mock them with my April glee | H |
| And fearless fare | G |
| - | |
| 'And I shall hear what none shall hear | I |
| The hardy robin piping clear | B |
| The Storm King gallop dark and drear | B |
| Across the sky | J |
| And I shall know what none shall know | K |
| The silent kisses of the snow | K |
| The Christmas candles' silver glow | K |
| Before I die | J |
| - | |
| 'Then from your frost gemmed window pane | L |
| One morning you will look in vain | L |
| My smile of delicate disdain | L |
| No more to see | H |
| But though I pass before my time | M |
| And perish in the grale and grime | M |
| Maybe you'll have a little rhyme | M |
| To spare for me ' | - |
