Translation of Fridtjof Nansen From Hunting and Adventure In the Arctic Into Poetry, By Tom Cook

What a wonderful fairy-tale
Nature is the spring
When we are young - this
Awakening of life -

After the long winter
To see the earth emerge
From the snow
Day-by-day

To drink in the scent
Of the soil -
The bursting buds -
To hear the joyous paean

Of the rollicking spring streams
Then the first
Blue anemones
On the brown carpet

Of the wood - 
The lark ascending
Into the cloudless sky -
The melody

Of thrushes and robins
In the twilight -
Dearest of all
The graceful birch

Smiling radiantly 
Through her veil
Of misty green
What an irreparable loss

That the whole of one
Of these fairy-tales
Should be cut out
Of your young life
