From White to Green

…at the same spot. 

And Friedrich Wilhelm Weber brought it to the point in his poem, “In the Winter Night”:

There is a lot of bread growing in the winter night,
Because under the snow the seeds are freshly green;
Only when the sun laughs in Spring,
You feel what good winter did.

And if the world is desolate and empty to you,
And the days are rough and difficult for you:
Be quiet and observe the change -
There is a lot of bread growing in the winter night.

Original in German:
Es wächst viel Brot in der Winternacht,
weil unter dem Schnee frisch grünet die Saat;
erst wenn im Lenze die Sonne lacht,
spürst du, was Gutes der Winter tat. 

Und deucht die Welt dir öd und leer,
und sind die Tage dir rauh und schwer:
Sei still und habe des Wandels acht -
es wächst viel Brot in der Winternacht.
