Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind
by William Shakespeare

Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.

Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most freindship if feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
That does not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As a friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most freindship if feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.

To Winter
by William Blake

O Winter! bar thine adamantine doors:
The north is thine; there hast thou built thy dark
Deep-founded habitation. Shake not thy roofs
Nor bend thy pillars with thine iron car.

He hears me not, but o’er the yawning deep
Rides heavy; his storms are unchain’d, sheathed
In ribbed steel; I dare not lift mine eyes;
For he hath rear’d his scepter o’er the world.

Lo! now the direful monster, whose skin clings
To his strong bones, strides o’er the groaning rocks:
He withers all in silence, and in his hand
Unclothes the earth, and freezes up frail life.

He takes his seat upon the cliffs, the mariner
Cries in vain. Poor little wretch! that deal’st
With storms; till heaven smiles, and the monster
Is driven yelling to his caves beneath Mount Hecla.

Note: The first line is about doors and holding them.
And then we have a winter rider with a scepter poppin' out
Whose skin clings to strong bones
This has to have been some inspiration for GOT.

This little shanty started off as a winter poem mashup.
Mostly became a counter to Shakespeare's Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind
Game Of Thrones and the slenderman reference
embody Blake's steel ribbed rider.
Winter is coming.
Might want to Hodor (Bar thine adamantine doors).

An Old Man's Winter Night
by Robert Frost

All out of doors looked darkly in at him
Through the thin frost, almost in separate stars
That gathers on the pane in empty rooms
What kept his eyes from giving back the gaze
Was the lamp tilted near them in his hand
What kept him from remembering what it was
That brought him to that creaking room was age
He stood with barrels round him -- at a loss
And having scared the cellar under him
In clomping there, he scared it once again
In clomping off; -- and scared the outer night
Which has its sounds, familiar, like the roar
Of trees and crack of branches, common things
But nothing so like beating on a box
A light he was to no one but himself
Where now he sat, concerned with he knew what
A quiet light, and then not even that
He consigned to the moon, such as she was
So late-arising, to the broken moon
As better than the sun in any case
For such a charge, his snow upon the roof
His icicles along the wall to keep
And slept. The log that shifted with a jolt
Once in the stove, disturbed him and he shifted
And eased his heavy breathing, but still slept
One aged man -- one man -- can't keep a house
A farm, a countryside, or if he can
It's thus he does it of a winter nigh

------------------------------

Winter
by William Shakespeare

When icicles hang by the wall
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When Blood is nipped and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-who;
Tu-whit, tu-who: a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

When all aloud the wind doth blow,
And coughing drowns the parson's saw,
And birds sit brooding in the snow,
And Marian's nose looks red and raw
When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-who;
Tu-whit, tu-who: a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
