| O'er uplands fresh swift sped my sleigh | B |
| A light snow fell along the way | B |
| Stood firs and birches slender | C |
| The former pondered deep alone | D |
| The latter laughed their white boughs shone | D |
| All brings a picture tender | C |
| - | |
| So light and free is now the air | E |
| Of all its burdens stripped it bare | E |
| The snow with playful sally | F |
| I glimpse behind its veil so thin | G |
| A landscape gay and high within | G |
| A snow peak o'er the valley | F |
| - | |
| But from the border white and brown | H |
| Where'er I look there's peeping down | H |
| A face but whose whose is it | I |
| I bore my gaze 'neath cap and brim | J |
| And see the snowflakes swarm and swim | J |
| Will some one here me visit | K |
| - | |
| A star fell on my glove right here | L |
| And here again its unlike peer | M |
| They will with riddles pose me | F |
| And smiles that in the air abound | N |
| From eyes so good I look around | N |
| 'T is memory besnows me | F |
| - | |
| The stars spin fine their filigree | F |
| Can hidden spirits in it be | F |
| There haunts me something awing | O |
| You finer birch you snow unstained | P |
| You purer air a soul you've gained | P |
| Who is it here now drawing | O |
| - | |
| His features dear in nature's face | Q |
| In all this fascinating grace | Q |
| In falling stars that cheat me | F |
| In these white gleams that finely glance | R |
| In all this silent rhythmic dance | R |
| Hans Brecke comes to meet me | F |
