    This poem describes a speaker who has been unwillingly risen from beds of snow by some unknown power. The speaker feels stiff, old, and unfit for the bitter cold. It struggles to move or breathe, pleading twice to be allowed to freeze again to death to escape its current state.

    THE COLD SONG – PURCELL

    What power art thou?


    Who from below
    Hast made me rise?
    Unwillingly and slow
    From beds of everlasting snow!

    See'st thou not how stiff


    And wondrous old?
    Far unfit to bear the bitter cold...

    I can scarcely move


    Or draw my breath
    I can scarcely move
    Or draw my breath

    Let me, let me


    Let me, let me
    Freeze again...

    Let me, let me


    Freeze again to death!
