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 penciled 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 are fairer things than these
His fingers traced on every pane.
-Gabriel Setoun, Jack Frost
