I dug and dug amongst the snow

I dug and dug amongst the snow,

And thought the flowers would never grow;

I dug and dug amongst the sand,

And still no green thing came to hand.

Melt, O snow ! the warm winds blow

To thaw the flowers and melt the snow;

But all the winds from every land

Will rear no blossom from the sand.

我在雪地里不停地挖，

以为花儿永远不会长出来；

我在沙堆里不停地挖，

还是没有发现绿色的东西。

融化吧，雪！温暖的风儿吹来，

解冻花儿，融化雪；

但所有来自世界各地的风，

都不能让沙漠里长出花朵。
