The hardy hope of winter
Sends its root deep
To wait out the darkness
Below the snow-chilled ground, and
Emerge, victorious, at the coming of spring.
Its regent the Christmas ever-green;
Its sign the fragile snow drop,
Each betiding - Life!
Life beyond death,
And joy beyond despair.
Rest for now, sleepers,
But - you'll yet wake,
And there will be the radiance and
The light of a new day.
