10 freeze your very soul;
A million icebergs cluster
At the tip.top of the pole;

Around the frozen sun
And how would you like to go
To that wonderful land of snow?

And seas and Icebergs roll;
They never have a barbecue
While years are passing by;
For the ice puts out the fire
And freezes up the rye"
