Original text and translations
English text
- Next winter comes slowly,
- pale, meager and cold,
- First trembling with age,
- and then, quivering with cold;
- benumb'd with hard frosts,
- and with snow cover'd o'er,
- benumb'd with hard frosts,
- and with snow cover'd o'er,
- Prays to the sun to restore him,
- prays to the sun to restore him
- and sings as before.
