Winterende	Rhyming pattern	Winter's End
Es ist schön, komm, wir gehn, uns den Frühling anzusehn! Wer den Winter saß zu Haus, kommt erwartungsvoll heraus. Sonnenschein lädt uns ein, wieder jung und froh zu sein. Nach der kalten grauen Zeit bringt uns Wärme Munterkeit. Ach, wie haben wir gefroren, rote Nase, rote Ohren, kalte Füße, kalte Hände, und ein Schnupfen ohne Ende! Doch vorbei! Kältefrei fühlen wir uns jetzt wie neu! Laue linde Frühlingswinde sind geschwinde Zauberei!	A A A B B C C C D D E E F F G G G H H H G	It's nice outside, Let us go Have a look on spring! Who was sitting during winter at home Comes out full of expectation. Sunshine Invites us To be young and merry again. After the cold grey span of time Warmth brings us cheerfulness. Oh, Jack Frost was reigning here Making red the nose, the ear, Freezing feet and freezing hands, Brought a cold that never ends. That is past! Free, at last, From the cold, a real blast! Mild and gentle Winds of spring Are quick Magic!
A note for readers not familiar with German rhyming rules: It is perfectly "legal" to rhyme certain umlauts with certain plain vowels as well as certain different diphthongs with one another. (The Great ones, Schiller, Goethe etc, do it all the time.)		Lines in italics give the literal meaning of the German lines, without caring for rhythm and rhyme. Lines in normal plain face show first tries of rendering the rhyme and rhythm pattern as well as the (gist of the) meaning of the corresponding lines.
