Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF| How cheerful in the winter's night | A |
| As down the lane I stray | B |
| The blacksmith's forge shoots out its light | A |
| And shines across the way | B |
| - | |
| The smith his labouring bellows blows | C |
| And now his stroke repeats | D |
| Beats the red iron as it glows | C |
| And shapes it as he beats | D |
| - | |
| While flash the frequent sparkles fly | E |
| And tongs are hissing red | F |
| Content and cheerful industry | G |
| Sweeten his daily bread | F |
