美國民謠創作歌手雪若．惠勒（Cheryl Wheeler）這首〈spring〉，描寫新英格蘭初春融雪的歌詞，景象歷歷在目，字裡行間頗有詩的意境。

There's a thaw beneath the fallen snow

And the geese don't know which way to go

There's a warm wind blowin' round the bend

And the days are growin' long again

And I will go down by the river

And wash the cold away

And gaze across the water all day

There's a bird rehearsing on a wire

And a soft green underneath the briar

There's a hazy ring around the moon

And the rains of spring are comin' soon

And I will sail out over the ocean

Stare down into the sea

Feel the warm salty wind of salvation blowin' through me

And I've been down for too long baby

And I've been up all night

I know it, I hear it

I think maybe it's gonna be all right

There's a wing just waiting for a chance

And a yellow blossom on a branch

There's a warm wind blowin' 'round the bend

And the days are growin' long again

積雪融了

鵝兒不知何去何從

一股暖風繞彎吹來

白晝又變長了

我將走進河裡

把寒冬洗去

並整日凝視水面

一隻鳥兒在電線上雀躍彩排

下面是柔軟的綠色野薔薇

月暈朦朧

春雨即將來臨

我要在汪洋航行

凝視大海

感受溫暖救贖的鹹風吹過我

寶貝，我沮喪太久了

我一晚沒睡

我知道，也聽到了

我想，會沒事的

只是一陣風等待機會

一朵黃花在枝椏綻放

一股溫暖的風吹過彎道

白晝又變長了
