Elsa Beskow почти сто лет назад создала цикл "Round the year" который и сегодня приятно читать, замечая изменения в природе, собственных чувствах, ожиданиях и повседневных заботах.
Blue skies and ice
Wherever you go,
Slipping and sliding
Deep in the snow.
Uphill and downhill,
Neither leaf nor green:
The sun bright and clear,
No grass to be seen.
Woollies and hoods,
on toboggans all day.
Gloves on our hands
and Spring far away.
Back home Mama’s baking
big loaves and small.
How hungry we are –
we’ll soon aet them all!
