Cold cold, John Keats.

Theses are considered to be the coldest two stanzas in poetry, by Keats.

 

St. Agnes' Eve—Ah, bitter chill it was! 
       The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold; 
       The hare limp'd trembling through the frozen grass, 
       And silent was the flock in woolly fold: 
       Numb were the Beadsman's fingers, while he told 
       His rosary, and while his frosted breath, 
       Like pious incense from a censer old, 
       Seem'd taking flight for heaven, without a death, 
Past the sweet Virgin's picture, while his prayer he saith. 
 
       His prayer he saith, this patient, holy man; 
       Then takes his lamp, and riseth from his knees, 
       And back returneth, meagre, barefoot, wan, 
       Along the chapel aisle by slow degrees: 
       The sculptur'd dead, on each side, seem to freeze, 
       Emprison'd in black, purgatorial rails: 
 
       Knights, ladies, praying in dumb orat'ries, 
       He passeth by; and his weak spirit fails 
To think how they may ache in icy hoods and mails.
