Beautiful snowdrops I see you appear
Whispering to me softly it is spring of the year
When warming rays of sun will kiss the cold earth
And the dormant sleepers of nature will be given new birth
When birds will find a song to sing in the air
And the awakening of nature is seen everywhere
The bitter winds blowing so icy and cold
Warm up their breath when winter releases her hold
Sweet little snowdrops appearing so shy
With your heads bent over not looking to the sky
As if in prayer so humble you grow
Teaching me a lesson of truth that I should know
That those who bow their heads in reverence to God
Like you gentle snowdrops appearing from the sod
Should humble their selves like you growing there
And ask for His mercy in a repentant sinner's prayer
Then from the cold ground that is a hardened heart
Life; hope and joy will make a new start
And the sunshine of His love will melt the cruel frost
Of sin that gripped with icy fingers the soul that was lost
Each little snowdrop that hides its gentle face
Teaches me so much of God's saving grace
I am so glad little flower; beside you I did stop
And learned this lesson from you; a humble snowdrop
