The cold is here, the woods are full of snow 冷是在这里，在林子里满是积雪

The river with its crusted banks of ice 与冰的结痂银行河

Bespeak of winter drownings long ago 预示着冬天溺水很久以前

The chest pressed tightly, as though in a vise 胸部紧紧地压，仿佛在台钳

   

The birds have flown away to warmer climes 鸟儿已经飞走到温暖的地方

The mammals in their caves to hibernate 在他们的洞穴哺乳动物冬眠

The summer seems a lost and gentle time 夏天似乎是一个失去的温柔时刻

When grass grew up against the swinging gate 当草长大后对摆门

   

The children's cheeks have turned a rosy red 孩子的脸颊已经翻了玫红

The wealthy are beside their fires, warm 富人是他们的火旁边，温暖的

And then there's he who is without a bed 再有就是他谁是没有一张床

In which to lay and ride the raging storm 在这奠定骑狂风暴雨

   

And in the graveyard, cold old bones do lie 而在墓地，冷老骨头，用谎言

And far above, the stars light up the sky 并远远高于，星星照亮天空
