There are not yet any violets
And the air is still quite fresh
The Day Star gleams on the snowy hill
The frost, gently, loosens its mesh
There are not yet any violets
And the winds brings forth the rain
The Day Star glints at the break of dawn
On the night's crystal remains
There are not yet any violets
But their leaves rise from the ground
The grass awakes, and stems appear
And greener the soil is found
There are not yet any violets
But the blackberries are in bud
The crocus blooms, the bird's in song,
The days have lengthened as they should.
There are not yet any violets
But the promise to be found
In each one of Her other signs
Is "Winter is uncrowned".
There are not yet any violets
But let us plait a crown and sing
To welcome the green princess,
Our Mother, the Goddess of Spring
