Quadrupeds are confined to their coverts and the birds sit upon their perches this peaceful hour.
四足動物都躲藏起來了，小鳥在這平和的時刻里也休息了，
There is not so much sound as in fair weather, but silently and gradually every slope, and the gray walls and fences, and the polished ice, and the sere leaves, which were not buried before, are concealed, and the tracks of men and beasts are lost.
周圍幾乎聽不到任何聲音，比好天氣的日子更加寧靜。可是，漸漸地，山坡、灰墻和篤笛、光完的冰還有枯葉， 所有原來沒有被白雪覆蓋的，現在都被埋住了，人和動物的足跡也消失了。
With so little effort does nature reassert her rule and blot out the trace of men.
大自然輕而易舉地就實施了它的法規，把人類行為的痕跡抹擦得干干凈凈。
Hear how Homer has described the same：“ The snowflakes fall thick and fast on a winter's day.
聽聽荷馬的詩：“冬天里，雪花降落,又多又快。
The winds are lulled, and the snow falls incessant, covering the tops of the mountains, and the hills, and the plains where the lotus tree grows, and the cultivated fields, and they are falling by the inlets and shores of the foaming sea, but are silently dissolved by the waves.”
風停了，雪下個不停，覆蓋了山頂和丘陵，覆蓋了長著酸棗樹的平原和耕地；在波瀾壯闊的海灣海岸邊，雪也紛 紛地下著，只是雪花落到海里，就被海水悄無聲息地融化了。”
The snow levels all things, and infolds them deeper in the bosom of nature, as, in the slow summer, vegetation creeps up to the entablature of the temple, and the turrets of the castle, and helps her to prevail over art.
白雪充塞了所有的事物，使萬物平等，把它們深深地裹在自然 的懷抱里；就像漫漫夏季里的植被，爬上廟宇的柱頂，爬上堡壘的角樓，覆蓋人類的藝術品。
