"It snows!" cries the Belle 1, "Dear, how lucky!" and turns from her mirror to watch the flakes 2 fall, “下雪了！”美女惊叹，“天呀，实在太美了！”她从镜中转身，她从镜中转身，窗外雪花飘落，
Like the first rose of summer, her dimpled cheek burns! 宛若夏季第一朵玫瑰，她的脸上浮出笑意酒窝。
While musing 3 on sleigh ride and ball: 恍惚中雪橇飞奔，
There are visions of conquests, of splendor 4, and mirth, floating over each drear winter's day; 还有豪华盛装舞会，红男绿女，欢歌浅笑，烟水繁华，柔情似水，打发那绵延不断的忧郁冬日。
But the tintings of Hope, on this storm-beaten earth, will melt like the snowflakes away. 历尽风雨沧桑，希望之星黯淡，是否像那雪花融尽，倏忽不知所踪？
Turn, then thee to Heaven, fair maiden 5, for bliss 6; that world has a pure fount ne'er opened in this. 不妨祈求上帝还有圣母赐予祝福！那才是未曾开启的醇美清泉。
"It snows!" cries the Widow, "O God!" and her sighs have stifled 7 the voice of her prayer; “下雪了！”寡妇哀叹，“哦，我的上帝！”她的叹息声声盖过了她的祷告。
Its burden ye'll read in her tear-swollen eyes, on her cheek sunk with fasting and care. 从她泪水浸泡的眼里，可以听见心在慢慢撕裂；她颧骨下陷，象征饥馑悲哀的呼号。
This night, and her fatherless ask her for bread. 在这个雪花飘落的冬夜，失去父亲的孩子向她伸手祈求面包。
But "He gives the young ravens 8 their food," And she trusts till her dark hearth 9 adds horror to dread 10, and she lays on her last chip of wood. “万能的主，请哺食那些幼小寒鸦。”她仍然怀有希望，直到冰冷的壁炉落满恐惧，或者绝望，直到她将最后一片细柴投进炉腔。
Poor sufferer! that sorrow thy God only knows; This a most bitter lot to be poor when it snows. 悲哀的母亲！唯独上帝才能洞悉你的苦难，雪花降临，那是穷人难以迈过的道道鬼门关。
