Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJG| Twenty forty sixty eighty | A |
| A hundred years ago | B |
| All through the night with lantern bright | C |
| The Watch trudged to and fro | B |
| And little boys tucked snug abed | D |
| Would wake from dreams to hear | E |
| 'Two o' the morning by the clock | F |
| And the stars a shining clear ' | G |
| Or when across the chimney tops | H |
| Screamed shrill a North East gale | I |
| A faint and shaken voice would shout | J |
| 'Three And a storm of hail ' | G |

William Frank Joseph Cripps : This is the first poem I learned in junior school and had to recite it to the whole school assembly.
christopher wilson.: I learned this poem at school around 1950. It was a favourite of mine and I used to recite in front of the class. All these years later it was still a pleasure to rread it again.
