A walk on the sea
Walking on the ice
The weather was so nice
A desert full of snow
Miles and miles to go
Walking on the ice
Taking no advice
The sun is standing high
A seal looks very shy
Walking on the ice
The landscape is so nice
Pine trees bent at the beach
Branches down to reach
Walking on the ice
Snow whiter than rice
The sun parts ice in floes
Cold is the seal its nose
Walking on the ice
The snow is glistering nice
Its beauty is temporal
And safety marginal
