一大堆白发……

是吗？

我眼前有点模糊。

我不太敢相信。

我仔细辨认。

没错。

——一大堆白发。

可是，此时此地，可能吗？

我还是不太敢相信。

我走前去仔细辨认。

还是没错。

——一大堆白发。

可是，此时此地，可能吗？

我还是不太敢相信。

我揉揉眼睛，再仔细辨认。

还是没错。

——一大堆白发。

已经再三验证。

这下我终于不得不相信：

那是一大堆白发。

我刚才一定是眼花了。

唉，原来冬天已到！

我突然被冷得全身颤抖……。

A pile of white hair …

Is it?

I feel misty of eyes.

I cannot believe it.

I identify it carefully.

No mistake.

— A pile of white hair.

But, here and now, is it possible?

Still I cannot believe it.

I step forward to identify it carefully.

Still no mistake.

— A pile of white hair.

But, here and now, is it possible?

Still I cannot believe it.

I rub my eyes, and again I identify it carefully.

Still no mistake.

— A pile of white hair.

Identified for three times.

And I have to believe:

It is a pile of white hair.

Just now I must have been dim of eyes.

Alas, winter is here!

Suddenly I tremble under a spell of coldness …
