Snowdrops

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 be ,everyone
And I will awake them, I the sun
Into the light, all clad in white, everyone
It´s rather dark in the earth today
said one little bulb to the other
But I thought that I felt a sunbeam´s ray
We must strive and grow ´til we find our way
And they nestled close to each other
They struggled and strived by day and by night
´til two little snowdrops in green and white
Rose out of the darkness and into the light
And softly they kissed one another
