Letra

Solid Waters
And the river
Was all Frozen
The hardest
Weather set in
Tyrannous,
The Frost
Altered the
Ancient Government
Of this Stream
Bound its
Liquid course
To Rigid Laws
And People began
To walk upon
The Ice
A street of Booths
Was built
Behold
The thriving Trader
At his Shop
The Sportive
At their Recreations
In all places
Smoking Fires
On the Solid Waters
Roasting, Boyling
Eating, Drinking
Others Chariotted
And Coach'd about
Nothing heard
But rejoycing intermixt
With Drums
And Trumpets
Nothing heard
In the fields
Nothing heard
In the fields
Starved with Cold
Here the severity of the season
Bore sway
We are taught the Truth
We must Tread backwards.
