See how on bare1 field and forest
Cold and barren2 death is seizing;
Winter＇s round you, winter＇s in you,
And your very heart is freezing3．

Suddenly white flakes4 come falling
Down on you; and vexed5 and sour
You suppose some tree has shaken
Over you a snowy shower．

But it is no snow that＇s fallen,
Soon you see with joyful start—
Look, it＇s fragrant6 flower blossoms
Come to ease and tease7 your heart．

Like a fever－hearted maiden
Now green woods are blossoming
While the sun laughs down from heaven:
Welcome, welcome, maiden spring!

田野和森林光秃秃，
白茫茫大地尽荒芜；
冬天遍野浸透你，
冬天冻得你心儿枯。

一阵阵白花从天降，
摔得你心儿涩又怅；
必是风吹树摇落，
摇下雪花洒身上。

不是雪花从天降，
心儿转喜多欢畅！
原是百花香，
逗人开颜笑。

好似热心小姑娘，
催开万物百花香。
哈哈大笑一太阳，
“欢迎欢迎你春姑娘！”
 

 

        唐朝诗人岑参有“忽如一夜春风来，千树万树梨花开”，是形容漫天大雪的。而海涅却反其道而行之，把春天浪漫的落花比作漫天飞舞的雪花，可谓别出心裁，让令人倍觉春天的温暖与繁荣，倍加珍惜花好月圆的大好时光。
    诗人不满足于此，清冷幽静的画面接着又出现了春姑娘灿烂可掬的笑容，幽静的景物突然间活跃起来，而且生动活泼百倍！
