Lawn as white as driven snow,
Cyprus black as e'er was crow,

For my lads to give their dears,
Pins and poking-sticks of steel,
What maids lack from head to heel.

Through the sharp air a flaky torrent flies,
Mocks the slow sight, and hides the gloomy skies;
The fleecy clouds their chilly bosoms bare,
And shed their substance on the floating air.

What will the stream become in its lengthened course, if it be so

Nel lungo suo cammino,
Se al fonte ancor vicino
