sleet cheerly cruel taps free

LESSON 63 - 图1

  1. In the snowing and the blowing,

  In the cruel sleet,

 Little flowers begin their growing

  Far beneath our feet.

  1. Softly taps the Spring, and cheerly, —

  "Darlings, are you here?"

 Till they answer, "We are nearly,

  Nearly ready, dear."

  1. "Where is Winter, with his snowing?

  Tell us, Spring," they say.

 Then she answers, "He is going,

  Going on his way.

  1. "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)

【中文阅读】

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)
