The Snowdrop
(Anna Laetitia Barbauld)
"Already the snowdrop dares appear,
The first pale blossom of th' unripen'd year;
As Flora's breath, by some transforming power,
Had chang'd an icicle into a flower,
Its name and hue the scentless plant retains,
And winter lingers in its icy veins."
It is not surprising that the Snowdrop symbolizes, hope, rebirth, and purity. They are known by a number of different names, such as Fair Maids of February, Dew-drops and Snow Bells.
I have seen these lovely, brave little flowers blooming in the snow, have you?
