Die Kälte kann wahrlich brennen Wie Feuer. Die Menschenkinder Im Schneegestöber rennen Und laufen immer geschwinder. O, bittre Winterhärte! Die Nasen sind erfroren, Und die Klavierkonzerte Zerreißen uns die Ohren. Weit besser ist es im Summer, Da kann ich im Walde spazieren, Allein mit meinem Kummer, Und Liebeslieder skandieren.
