Excerpt from Flower Lore and Legend
Lone ?ower, hemmed in with snows, and white as they, But hardier far, once more I see thee bend Thy forehead, as if fearful to Offend, Like an unbidden guest; though day by day, Storms, sallying from the mountain tops waylay The rising sun, and on the plains descend; Yet thou art welcome, welcome as a friend Whose zeal outruns his promise! Wordsworth, To a Snowdrop.
