Winter dawned on the pole
The man and family
Making a home of ice,
An igloo to pass the winter by,
Competed in a few days
They stuffed all the frozen
Fish, penguins and the sorts,
Closing the entrance
With a few ice bricks,
They lit the lamp with
Fish oil, the woman
Sewing the leathercoats,
For the extreme winter,
With dogs barking outside
Near the icesledges,
Made of whale and animal bones,
The kid sleeping on and off,
Time tickered by,
A full quarter year,
Till the sunlight lit the sky,
Slowing the sun dawned
In afew days time.
Circling the east horizon,
Round and round
Till it reached the zenith,
Overhead in circles again,
Slowly melting the igloo.
