The New Story About the Snow Queen
Cold, ice, the grey sky.
Wind chases snowflakes violently.
«Why do you lower the curtains In your room?
Are you afraid of somebody?»
«I am afraid of Snow Queen,
who has kidnapped a small boy named Kay!
Suddenly she will glance In my window also!»
«You must not be afraid!
She not malicious, she is unfortunate.
I think, that Mister Andersen was mistaken,
when he saw her once in his window,
and he wrote her history.
But I know that, ever long ago, Snow Queen
was one of three sisters, the Snow fairies.
She was curious, she liked to travel.
One day she flew to distant Russia.
There Snow Queen, so young, fell in love
with a handsome man, the stalwart Frost.
Three daughters, the Snow Maidens, were born to them.
How happy the Snow fairy was with her family!
But once, when Frost was not at home,
malicious North Wind stole the beautiful fairy.
She did not want to be his wife and resisted him!
Then North Wind erased almost all her memories
and sent her to the country of Eternal Cold.
Then she became Snow Queen.
But two daughters remained
in the small bit of her memory,
which she stored in her heart.
Always sad, Snow Queen
flies to various countries.
She looks into windows of houses
And she hopes to see her dear girls.
