You're right, of course. I've loved that poem since it was introduced to me at age 11. We spent our English period that cold, dark, snowy December day sitting in a circle on the floor, with a candle lit. Our teacher read us the poem from the illustrated publication of it and then we each memorized a line, and went around and around the circle until we all knew each line. And it was just so perfect with the snow falling gently outside. :)
