All winter long

behind every thunder

guess what we heard!

- behind every thunder

the song

of a bird,

a trumpeting bird.

All winter long

beneath every snowing

guess what we saw!

- beneath every snowing

a thaw

and a growing,

a greening and growing.

Where did we run

beyond gate and guardsman?

Guess, if you can!

- all winter long

we ran

to the sun,

the dance of the sun!
