"Ha! wie's jetzt stürmet und schneit!
Das ist ein Graus!"
Rufet dort einer zum Fenster heraus.
Kein Graus! nein! nein!
Das ist mir Sonnenschein!
Denn nun bleibt jeder zu Haus,
Und ich allein.

"Ha, how it storms and snows!
That is a horror!"
Someone over there calls out of a window.
No horror! no! no!
That is like sunshine to me!
For now everyone stays at home,
And I remain alone.
