Answer:

Ice

Step-by-step explanation:

"Kubla Kahn" is a poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who wrote it in 1797. In this poem, the author talks about the Mongol ruler Kubla Khan, and reflects on Khan's summer palace, called "Xanadu." In this poem, we learn about a fountain, rocks and a sacred river. However, the poet does not talk about ice:

"And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,

As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,

A mighty fountain momently was forced:

Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst

Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,

Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher’s flail:

And mid these dancing rocks at once and ever

It flung up momently the sacred river."
