1 Spring|          lets loose his serpent tongue. ~"And you, scapegrace Pukys,
2 Spring| expelling clouds of steam, ~And tongue protruding, he moves grimly
3 Summer|       sweet and pure Lithuanian tongue. ~But listen now my brother
4 Summer|       Swiss in their own native tongue, ~While they themselves
5 Autumn|       speak the strident German tongue, ~And did not wear high

7 Winter|         They learn to speak our tongue, as they enjoy our food, ~

9 Winter|      could speak the Lithuanian tongue,~For that gift in the barn
