Original text and translations

English text

Oh! Never fear
Old Winter’s cheer,
Though rude and sharp his greeting;
His coat is rough,
His voice is gruff,
But warm his heart is beating;

He wears no smile,
And for a while
He’ll seem to hide our treasures;
But in the end
He’ll prove a friend,
And bring us back Spring’s pleasures.
