In the Bleak Midwinter -- Signs of Spring

In the bleak midwinter 

Frosty wind made moan 

Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone 
Snow had fallen, 

Snow on snow,

 Snow on snow




It is mid-January, the bleakest part of winter here in England. The weather is damp, the days are short, the trees are bare, and yet...small, tender shoots of green dot the garden path.

 In a month daffodils will be blooming. 
In the bleak midwinter, there are signs of Spring!
