English poem
Snowdrops
by Norah M. Holland (1876–1925)
February fair maids, All along the lane, Dancing with the breezes, Nodding to the rain, Whispering tales of Springtime Through the snow and sleet, February fair maids, Brave and bright and sweet.
February fair maids, Soon you'll disappear, Soon the swallow's twitter Tells that Spring is here. Soon the rose and lily Laugh 'neath skies of blue-- February fair maids, None so brave as you.
February fair maids, Dancing down the lane, Bowing to the breezes, Smiling at the rain, Lifting laughing faces Through the snow and sleet-- February fair maids, Brave and bright and sweet.
