Ezra Pound

Ancient Music

Winter is icummen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm.
Raineth drop and staineth slop,
And how the wind doth ramm!
         Sing: Goddamm.
 
Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us,
An ague hath my ham.
Freezeth river, turneth liver,
         Damn you, sing: Goddamm.
 
Goddamm, Goddamm, ‘tis why I am, Goddamm,
         So ’gainst the winter’s balm.
 
Sing goddamm, damm, sing Goddamm.
Sing goddamm, sing goddamm, DAMM.
 
A parody of the Anglo—Saxon poem, Cuckoo Song
