1 Melancholic and Contemplative Poems About Winter
1. North Wind
By Hồ Văn Hảo
The north wind brings back memories and longing,
As the desolate reeds stand under the drizzling rain.
The river overflows, leaving boats without a dock,
While my heart remains cold despite the quilt’s warmth.
As the setting sun urges the swallows to fly,
A wistful fragrance wafts through the trees.
Does anyone hear what the wind carries?
A whole past life lingers here.

2. Winter Warmth
Anonymous
The north wind blows in gusts,
Dark clouds descend upon the levee.
I worry about those busy with work,
And friends burdened with countless tasks.
The cold creeps in, hugging a lone pillow,
Numbness creeps up, pulling the quilt tighter.
I long for winter’s shared warmth,
Where happiness blooms with fulfilled vows.
3. Snowfall
By Nguyên Hải
The wintry sky remains unclad,
As bitter cold blankets the land in white.
The ocean’s waves echo in my heart,
As the two shores grieve in silence.
The earth barely breathes, warming the winter forest with a bitter-sweet breath.
The wintry evening stands still, devoid of human shadows.

2 Sad Love Poems About Winter and Longing
4. I’ll Return in December
By Phạm Ngọc Giao
I’ll return in December,
So winter won’t linger by the door.
Days won’t be distant, and nights won’t be hasty,
As I return to write another December.
I’ll return in December,
To embrace my mother’s slender shoulders,
And listen to her sing ancient lullabies,
Tales of magic and folklore.
I’ll return to the path where lovers await,
Forever engraved in my memory,
To a field of mustard flowers by the river,
Where a girl awaits, unmarried.
I’ll pass by the winter lane,
To relive my childhood days,
Waiting for my mother’s silhouette at dusk,
Her fragile figure, cloaked in a worn-out garment.
I’ll return to embrace my solitude,
And find myself in a sea of memories,
Memories that linger in every breath,
To understand what happiness and joy truly mean.
I’ll return to find what was lost,
A time of regret for those who have parted,
To write about these memories,
I’ll return to write another December.
5. Winter Love
By Dương Bích Hạnh
I long for you as spring arrives everywhere,
Yet our paths remain distant.
The chilly midnight dew dampens my shoulders,
As my blushing cheeks fade.
I long for you, my heart aches with pain,
As our separation dims our love.
Snow buries the dying embers,
While the evening breeze carries my sorrow.
I long for you in my solitary chamber,
Searching for words of love from times past.
My heart yearns for a reversal of time,
To relive moments of passion.
Beloved, do you still remember me?
Or has our love drifted to a foreign shore?
The wind blows, carrying away a leaf,
Leaving me to embrace the coldness of WINTER LOVE…!!!

6. The Last Winter Poem
By Bounthanh Sirimoungkhoune
Winter’s end is near, cloaked in mist,
Yet my heart still yearns, filled with passion.
The moonlight of the final winter night fades,
As my eyes long for your touch.
As winter bids farewell, what will it leave behind?
The moon weeps, showering dewdrops from the sky,
Stirring memories of you in the quiet of the night.

The bitter east wind blows in the late hours,
As I lie alone with my pillow.
I weep for a life left unfulfilled,
And the more I try to forget, the more my heart aches.
8. Winter Apart
Anonymous
It’s getting cold, so please wear an extra layer, my love,
And wrap your neck with a scarf against the biting wind.
Frost covers the ground, so don your gloves to keep warm,
For winter’s long nights can chill familiar dreams.
Is it cold there, too? The sun sets before it’s golden,
And sweet words remain unspoken.
Is it very cold where you are, my love?
Winter has just arrived here,
While the other side of the world basks in sunshine.
No one remembers, no one wants to remember,
For the wind blows cold regardless of the season.

9. Far From You in Winter
By Nguyễn Quang Long
Winter stirs up countless memories,
Of you, my love, now far away.
Winter’s chill pierces my skin,
And I weep alone, my eyes blurred by tears.
Do you know, my love, in a distant land,
That the changing seasons once brought us together?
The north wind blew, and you teased me with your fan,
But now, without you, the cold night feels empty,
Shattering the dreams in my heart.
I lie awake, filled with sorrow,
And send my love to you in my thoughts.
Farewell, my dreams and wishes,
When will we be together again?
I remain alone with my aching heart,
Betrayed by our vows of everlasting love!
10. Hey, Hanoi Girl
Anonymous
Hey, Hanoi girl,
I still remember the scent of royal milkweed,
And the fragrance of milk flowers.
The quiet street is filled with the pitter-patter of raindrops,
As someone waits, their hair caressing their soft shoulders.
I still remember the lonely banyan tree in winter,
And the winter-bare roofs.
A slice of the moon is left behind in winter,
Reminding me of that winter long ago.
The sound of a piano echoes from a crumbling house,
And the chiming bells of the evening service linger.
I still remember the green of time,
As your hair dances in the wind.
Suddenly, it’s dusk, and I’m lost on a familiar street.
I still remember the old streets covered in moss,
And the red-tiled roofs we once loved.
Nostalgic memories stir,
As the ripples on West Lake whisper secrets.
Suddenly, it’s dusk, and I’m lost in time.
11. Winter, Far From You
By Đức Trung
The chilly wind blew last night,
Leaving me alone with my sorrow.
Do you know how I feel, my love?
Autumn is ending, and winter is near.
Why must we remain apart?
My heart aches with sorrow and longing.
Our separation brings endless grief,
Our love, like a wave, crashes and breaks.
Countless dreams and hopes linger,
So please, my love, don’t let your rosy cheeks fade.
I lie awake, thinking of you,
And the peaceful moments we once shared.
Love, like a fiery flame,
Will always warm the bitter cold of winter.
