The poem presents a stream as a symbol of life’s journey, flowing endlessly from day to day through sunlit meadows and cool woods. A star seeks distant shores as rolling hills guard the land, while reflections ripple on the surface signaling time passing toward the sea.

It praises purity and unspoiled innocence, urging lives to mirror snowflakes’ innocence and daily happiness.
