March violets
Niels Wilhelm Gade
The heavens arch above, pure and blue,
and the frost exhibits its flowers.
The window is sparkling with shimmering flora.
A young man is standing in front, gazing intently.
And behind the flowers there blossoms
a pair of laughing blue eyes.
March violets, [like nothing ever seen before!
The frost will dissolve with one breath!]
Frosted flowers now begin to melt,
and God, be lenient with this young man.
