Mag da draußen Schnee sich türmen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mag da draußen Schnee sich türmen, Mag es hageln, mag es stürmen, Klirrend an mein Fenster schlagen, Nimmer will ich mich beklagen! Denn ich trage in der Brust Liebchens Bild und Frühlingslust.

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Fathoms deep may drift the snow, It may hail, and it may blow, Till my windows groan and shake, Moan for that I ne'er will make, For, while in my breast I bear My love's image, spring is there.
