In the concentration camp of Time br We all froze: br The hoar of the north gale blew br Merciless br Pitiless: br Under its gelid hand-scepter thawed br All our younger enthusiasm and our sex: br Our eyes nigh to blind br With the somber blizzard of dread br The neighing of the blizzard turned br More violent to howling: br Before us br Lay a thousand corpses yet in blood br That stained the snow br The white snow.
