I turned to speak to God

About the world’s despair;

But to make bad matters worse,

I found God wasn’t there.

...on

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice

I think I know enough of hate

To know that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

“Fire and Ice,” originally published in Harper’s Magazine, December 1920
