To make the snow and storm, 制造出了雪和风暴，

And winds that howl and winds that sing, 咆哮的风和歌唱的风，

And days so bright and warm? 还有明亮温暖的天气呢？

And just what sort of things they are 它们属于哪种东西

Is what I wonder most. 是我最好奇的。

Are they expressed from very far? 它们是从很远的地方快递来的吗?

Or sent by Parcel Post? 还是用包裹邮寄的？

Suppose a weather famine came, 假设饥荒来了，

And every bit had fled— 每一块都跑掉了——

I wonder who would get the blame? 我想知道该怪谁？

What could we use instead? 我们可以用什么来代替呢？
