LESSON 63
MARCH
三 月
| sleet | cheerly | cruel | taps | free |

- In the snowing and the blowing,
In the cruel sleet,
Little flowers begin their growing
Far beneath our feet.
- Softly taps the Spring, and cheerly, —
"Darlings, are you here?"
Till they answer, "We are nearly,
Nearly ready, dear."
- "Where is Winter, with his snowing?
Tell us, Spring," they say.
Then she answers, "He is going,
Going on his way.
- "Poor old Winter does not love you;
But his time is past;
Soon my birds shall sing above you; —
Set you free at last."
(Mary Mapes Dodge)

1.
在风雪中,
在峭寒里,
小花开始成长,
就在我们脚下。
2.
轻轻地拍一拍春天,高兴地说:
“亲爱的,是你来了吗?”
直到他们回答:“我们就要来了,
马上就到,亲爱的。”
3.
他们说:“冬天和雪花在哪?
春天请告诉我们。”
春天回答:“他在走,
走在他的路上。”
4.
“可怜的冬天老了,他不喜欢你们。
但他的时代已然过去。
我的鸟儿即将在头顶唱歌
令你最终重获自由。”
(玛丽·梅普斯·道奇)
