Up rose the wild old winter-king,
And shook his beard of snow;
"I hear the first young hard-bell ring,

My daughter comes with sunny locks:
This land's too warm for me!"

Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter,
