The Snowdrop
"Where are the snowdrops?" said the sun
"Dead," said the frost,
"Buried and lost
Everyone."
"A foolish answer," said the sun
"They did not die,
Asleep they lie
Everyone
And I will awake them
I, the sun, into the light
All clad in white
Everyone."
I think this poem was written by Pádraic Pearse an Irish patriot who fought in the 1916 Rising.
