The First SnowBy Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

• The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently, all day long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the living, on the graves of the dead! All white save the river, that marked its course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees, that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and intricacies of their branches! What silence, too, came with the snow, and what seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and musical. No more trampling hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.

初雪　亨利 ·华兹华斯 ·朗费罗

•初雪飘临。多美呀！它整日整夜都在静静地飘着，落在山岗上，落在草地上，落在世人的屋顶上，也落在死者的坟墓上。一片银亮雪世界！惟有蜿蜒的河道在白茫茫大地上印下一道弯弯的黑线。铅灰色的天空下，那些叶儿落尽的树木显现出它们的枝丫原来是如此错落有致，精妙美丽。雪中的世界静谧无比，所有的喧嚣都沉寂了，所有的声音似乎都那么柔和悦耳。听不到马蹄得得，听不到车轮辚辚，只闻雪橇铃儿叮当和鸣，那明快欢乐的节拍如同孩子们心房的搏动。
