Antarctica The Polymorphess

A strong current setting
With heavy gales and fog
Many a strange thing written
Down in the Captain's log.

Clouds of a snowy whiteness
Foreshadow immense fields of ice.

South
Where the giant sleeps
Motionless, cold and proud.

Eternal
Two worlds collide
Senses go numb.

Sleeping
Dreamless aeons
And aeons.

Will he ever
Dream again?

Antarctica the "Polymorphess"
Plays her game of bloody dice.

She is so ragged and broken
Yet shatteringly adorable
Many words have been spoken
Her ways purely impassable.

To the west: icebergs
Four hundred fathoms high
Our passage south is doubtful
O Father, hear our mournful sighs.

This gigantic creature tossed
Its vast bulk across our thole board
Seizing one man - instantly lost
Peters plunged the blade and roared.

Clouds of a snowy whiteness
Foreshadow immense fields of ice
Antarctica the "Polymorphess"
Plays her game of bloody dice.

She's so ragged and broken
Yet shatteringly adorable
Many words have been spoken
Her ways purely impassable.
