Poem about a woman who has been tricked by a man. Her anger and grief have turned her into ice. She appears at a wedding to take her revenge.
THE ICE MAIDEN
A lady of ice strides up the aisle
as Mark and Ada link hands to wed.
She parts her cape; it stirs chill gusts
her coal lips curl; a fell dirge trails.
Veins die in frost that chokes the heart
the witch dame puffs; slaves rise to lands
where no sun thaws a gelid iron war
on souls who love and tie their joy
for man’s cruel ruse sings free of rest.
