FIRE AND ICE

by: Robert Frost (1874-1963)

      OME 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" was originally published in Harper’s Magazine, December 1920.
