Jack Frost set out on a Journey From regions across the sea, And he never stayed, or his step, delayed, A traveller swift was he. He startled the scented zephyr, And frightened the purling brook; Straight ahead he went, on his work intent, And grim was his every look. ''Jack Frost set out on a journey'' ''From regions across the sea,'' ''And he never stayed, or his steps delayed,'' ''A traveller swift was he.'' Jack Frost was really good natured, Though looking so cold and grim, And none ever yet, a traveller met Who’d enter Love’s lists with him! He answered to wishes unspoken And covered the streams with ice, Till each youth and maid of every grade Vowed deep that his ways were nice. Jack Frost soon ended his sojourn, And flew to a far-off land; But his stay, though short, together had brought Full many a warm young hand! And maidens and youths now wonder How hearts are so quickly lost? And Echo replies, “The secret all lies With one, and his name’s Jack Frost.”
