　　At first thin wavering; till at last the flakes² fall broad and wide and fast, dimming the day, with a continual flow. 霓裳起舞，化作羽毛的柔软凋零，山川广袤，刹那间天地卷入晦暗，扬扬纷纷，笼罩了村庄河流两岸。

　　The cherished fields put on their winter robe of purest white. 银装素裹，眺望一望无际的凝重，

　　'T is brightness all: save where the new snow melts along the mazy current. 暮色渐褪，悄声融化的白雪皑皑，龙走蜿蜒，流水淙淙中欣然上路。

　　Low the woods bow their hoar head; and ere the languid sun faint from the west emits its evening ray, 谦卑树木，风雪中低下白头，西陲夕阳，惨淡望萧瑟寒冬， 光华不再，大地苍茫月色起，

　　Earth's universal face, deep-hid and chill, 风寒料峭，江河隐退寂寥收。

　　Is one wild dazzling waste, 缤纷凌乱，飞雪狂舞遮不住，

　　that buries wide The works of man. 天地一色，生机无限绰影留。

　　Drooping³, the laborer⁴ ox stands covered o'er with snow, and then demands the fruit of all his toil⁵. 低首徘徊，砥足耕作的老牛，落雪满身，巴望主人的草料，

　　The fowls⁶ of heaven, tamed by the cruel season, crowd around the winnowing⁷ store, and claim the little boon⁸ which Providence⁹ assigns them. 天寒地冻，繁重活计下煎熬；群鸟麇集，黑压压蜂拥飞来，粮仓屋前，饥饿难耐地寻找， 麸皮翻飞，悲悯众生的回报。

　　One alone, The Redbreast, sacred to the household gods, 孤独踟蹰， 象征家神的知更鸟，极度敏感， 隆冬里恶劣天气，

　　Wisely regardful of the embroiling¹⁰ sky, 万木肃杀， 田野里到处荒芜，

　　In joyless fields and thorny¹¹ thickets¹² leaves his shivering mates, and pays to trusted man his annual visit. 北风刺骨， 穿过灌丛的长啸，鸟儿嘶鸣， 嗷嗷待哺的哀号，好心人呐， 数九寒天来喂鸟。
