THE SNOWDROP
“Stay a little longer,”
Said a Fairy to a Snowdrop;
“Stay a little longer in your earth-brown nursery!”
But she said, “I must be going,
Be it raining, hailing, snowing;
I must stir me and be going,
For the Master calleth me.”

Be it raining, hailing, snowing;
I must stir me and be going,
For the Master calleth me.”
“Stay a little longer,”
Said the Children to the Snowdrop;
“Stay a little longer by the old laburnum-tree!”
But she said, “I must be homing
With my sisters in the gloaming;
I must stir me and be homing,
For the Master calleth me.”
