Sv: Norrskenet dansade över den tysta byn.

Sv: Snön föll mjukt, täckte taken och träden med ett vitt täcke.

Sv: Snön låg djup.
En: The snow lay deep.

Sv: Kylan bet i kinderna.

Sv: De vandrade länge genom skogen.
En: They walked for a long time through the forest.

Sv: Träden viskade hemligheter i vinden.
