Mag da draußen Schnee sich türmen,
Mag es hageln, mag es stürmen,
Klirrend [an mein Fenster]1 schlagen,
Nimmer will ich mich beklagen!
Denn ich trage in der Brust
Liebchens Bild und Frühlingslust.

Fathoms deep may drift the snow
 (Sung text for setting by F. Allitsen)
 See original
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,
But while in my breast I bear
My love's image, spring is here.
