You may be familiar with Ezra Pound’s 1915 poem that begins “Winter is icumen in/ Lhude sing goddamm….” The poem has an extra line or two, so it doesn’t quite fit the familiar tune to “Sumer Is Icumen In.” But if you take those extra lines of poetry and stuff them into the two ground melodies, you can actually sing the song. It makes a nice antidote to the sappy Christmas carols that we hear playing over and over and over everywhere we go in this week leading up to Christmas. You’ll find the sheet music to “Winter Is Icumen In” here.
