Smooth English translation of previous language

Winter is the same to the old, to the sick and to children,
Like a big cat hunting,
Like a rock on which moss can grow,
And like shameless teeth,
And like sharp claws brought to the hunt.

So we ask it:
"Art thou clement in Spring?
Thou art wandering in thy kingdom.
Thou art greeting the dear god of Spring,
which is leaving green footprints behind."

Notes on the text received.

I couldn't work out the syntax of the first sentence, viz the relationships between "winter", "the old, the sick, and children", "a big cat hunting", "a rock on which moss can grow", "shameless teeth" and "sharp claws brought to the hunt". Or rather, my best guess at the syntax didn't yield a very plausible meaning. So I decided to go for the plausible meaning.
