    This short poem describes the harsh winter weather and its unpleasant effects on the speaker. Over 4 stanzas, it uses repetition of the phrase "Goddamm" to express the speaker's frustration with the cold, rain, wind and freezing conditions that bring discomfort like sloppiness, ague (fever or joint pain), and a frozen liver. The final stanza intensifies the repetition of "Goddamm" as if cursing the winter and pleading to sing out their frustration with it.

    Ancient Music

    by Erza Poud

    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.
