¶Lyrics / Text

1. When winter is over and spring is begun, When nature is warmed by the rays of the sun, Our prospects are raised by the opening year, And fruits are expected when blossoms appear. 2. Our fond expectations thus bear us away, When beautiful prospects our eyes still survey; But sudden, a dreadful and untimely frost Restores winter's gloom and our hopes are all lost.
