"ANUN of Winter's sisterhood," A Snowdrop in the garden stood Alone amid the solitude That round her lay. No sister blossom there was seen; No memory of what had been; No promise of returning green, Or scented spray: But she alone was bold to bear The banner of the Spring, and dare, In Winter's stern despite, declare A gentler sway. So didst thou, Damien, when the glow Of faith and hope was waning low, For souls bewintered dare the snow, And lead the way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 68 by PHILIP SIDNEY EVENING TRAINS by MARY TRUE AYER WE ARE CHILDREN by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN AUGUST, 1865 by CAROLINE CLIVE AN OLD STREET by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD SUCCESS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
