Simon
 Seht, wie der strenge Winter flieht! 
 Zum fernen Pole zieht er hin.
 Ihm folgt, auf seinen Ruf,
 der wilden Stürme brausend Heer
 mit gräßlichem Geheul.

Lukas
 Seht, wie vom schroffen Fels der Schnee
 in trüben Strömen sich ergießt!

Hanne
 Seht, wie vom Süden her, 
 durch laue Winde sanft gelockt,
 der Frühlingsbote streicht!
