Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells Shattering and avalanching on the snow-crust-- Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen.

Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells - Shattering and avalanching on the snow crust-- Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen.

阳光的温暖接着使那水晶的硬壳,从树枝上崩落，一齐倾泻在雪地上-,这么一大堆碎玻璃尽够你打扫,你还以为是天顶的华盖塌了下来。
