Frosty the night; the heavens shone; + 

The wondrous host of heavenly spheres + 

Sailed silently in unison⁠— + 

Tattiana in the yard appears + 

In a half-open dressing-gown + 

And bends her mirror on the moon, + 

But trembling on the mirror dark + 

The sad moon only could remark. + 

List! the snow crunches⁠—he draws nigh! + 

The girl on tiptoe forward bounds + 

And her voice sweeter than the sounds + 

Of clarinet or flute doth cry: + 

“What is your name?” The boor looked dazed, + 

And “Agathon” replied, amazed. + 
