It is snowing

Hermann Bemberg

It is snowing, it is snowing

in big flakes

like cotton,

that fall on the entirely white roofs,

and the little fearful birds

snuggle together,

shivering,

closing their eyes.

It is snowing, it is snowing,

everything is covered with a white cloak of snow!

It is snowing, it is snowing.

How cold it is

in the hard wintry weather

that freezes our souls with dread!

And feeling themselves very unhappy,

young loving hearts

two by two,

warm themselves together.

It is snowing, it is snowing,

Everything passes, everything disappears under the snow!
