For he's as old as the hills and nearly as proud

His breath feels like ice to freeze your cold bones Fingers all gnarled and twisted with a groan He walks with a stick of ancient black alder Tells Tales of the old folk and legends of crones.

Snowy wild landscapes his home on the mountain Waterfalls of ice that spew down like a fountain He lets out a sigh from deep down within His breath covers all with Winters iron hand
