A Winter's Night
It is a cold and lonely night
a full moon shines down across a winter meadow
virgin snow, crystal clean lays all around
the moon’s light gives the snow an eerie glow
The meadow though is filled with life
mice and rabbits, even flowers try to survive the cold
a squirrel and fox search for food under the snow
but winter once again tightens it's hold
Small flakes turn into a white curtain
tracks of animals will soon cover the crust of snow
leaving a variety of food underneath
some tracks children will guess, others they will know
On these nights you should stay in your warm home
do not feel compelled to wander and roam
cuddle up with friends or else you'll surely freeze
for winter and snow are the moon’s domain
a full moon shines down across a winter meadow
virgin snow, crystal clean lays all around
the moon’s light gives the snow an eerie glow
The meadow though is filled with life
mice and rabbits, even flowers try to survive the cold
a squirrel and fox search for food under the snow
but winter once again tightens it's hold
Small flakes turn into a white curtain
tracks of animals will soon cover the crust of snow
leaving a variety of food underneath
some tracks children will guess, others they will know
On these nights you should stay in your warm home
do not feel compelled to wander and roam
cuddle up with friends or else you'll surely freeze
for winter and snow are the moon’s domain

| In het laatste couplet zou je, omwille van het rijm, kunnen zetten: to wander in strain Sfeervolle tekst. Iets te beschrijvend naar mijn gevoel en ook iets te 'vol'. Dierenleven en maneschijn hangen niet goed samen. Bijna PERFECT Engels, overigens. Ik merk alleen maar it's op als niet-kloppend. Kijk maar na! It's great to see its perfection. |
