[Magdalen] the stoontz are icumin in

[Jay Weigel]

*Ancient Music*


*by Ezra Pound (1912)*

Winter is icumen 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

      Damm 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.
