Now is the globe shrunk tight
Round the mouse’s dulled wintering heart.
Weasel and crow, as if moulded in brass,
Move through an outer darkness
Not in their right minds,
With the other deaths. She, too, pursues her ends,
Brutal as the stars of this month,
Her pale head heavy as metal.

I've had snowdrops in my yard for 15+ years. I remember how thrilled I was the first time they bloomed. Always brings a smile to my face in the middle of winter.

Next year, I hope to attend the Galanthus Gala.

Anyone else interested?
