Jack Frost

The door shut, a doors should be-,
Before you went TO bed last night;
Yet Jack Frost has got in. you see,
And left your window silver white.
He must have waited till you slept;
And not a single word he spoke,
But pencilled o'er the panes and crept
Away again before you woke
And now you cannot see the hills
Nor fields that stretch beyond the lane;
But there farer things than these
His fingers traced every pane.
Rocks and castles towering high;
Hills and dales. and streams and fields;
And knights in riding by,
With nodding pumes and shining shields.
And here are little boats. and there
Big ships with sails spread to the breeze;
And yonder. palm trees waving fair
On islands in silver seas.
And butterflies with gauzy wings;
And herds of and focks of sheep;
And fruit and flowers and all the things
You when you sound asleep.
For creeping softly underneath
The door when all the lights are out
Jack Frost takes every breath you breathe,
And knows the things you think about.
He paints them the window pane
In fairy lines with frozen steam;
And when you wake you see again
The lovely things you in dream.
