Some say the world will end in fire<br /> some say in ice<br /> from what I have tasted of desire<br /> I hold with those who favor fire<br /> but if it had to perrish twice<br /> I think i know enough of hate<br /> that ice is also great<br /> and would suffice<br /> Fire and ice by robert Frost

The survivors after the war with snow
are nonexistent
all have perished, gone
After the furry of winter

Not a single one Not a single leaf
Survived the wind of winter
Not a single one Not a single blade
Survived the Falling snow
Not a single one Not a single critter
Lived through the cold of air
Not a single one Not a single reef
Lived through the loss of water

The survivors after the war with snow
are nonexistent
all have perished, gone
After the rage of the age of ice.

Very few survived the many nights
My ancestor was one of them
