Inside tree hollows                        Nos buracos da árvore

the last wads of snow                   os últimos resquícios da neve

linger                                                 permanecem

and crystals of soil                         e cristais de chão

thaw                                                  degelam

Winds pluck a song                       Ventos rasqueam um canto

of fragant earth and leaves           de terra e folhas perfumadas

in answer to the new sun              em resposta ao novo sol

to melting snow                               à neve derretendo

and the clear                                    e ao límpido

morning wine                                   vinho matinal

of spring                                            da Primavera.
