Gallant vigour braves the storm
Intrepid courage beyond the strain
Endless effort keeping warm
Iron will to ease the pain
Forward march the mind insists
Interrogation and torment
Thoughts of home that can’t resist
Rest assured and not lament
Battle-hardened, steel will
Resolution held in sight
Elements serve bitter pill
Make the ground ‘till fall of night
White blanket sheets of snow
Arctic chill bears no remorse
Icy does the north wind blow
Perseverance stays the course
Angry clouds frown in the sky
Layers keep the squall at bay
Homely comforts wave goodbye
Wind chill takes your breath away
