The Snowdrop by Anna Bunston De Bary   Close to the sod    There can be seen A thought of God    In white and green. Unmarred, unsoiled    It cleft the clay, Serene, unspoiled    It views the day. It is so holy And yet so lowly.    Would you enjoy       Its grace and dower    And not destroy       The living flower? Then you must, please, Fall on your knees. Today's poem is in the public domain. Poetry by De Bary Collected Poems Poem-A-Day launched in 2006 and features new and previously unpublished poems by contemporary poets on weekdays and classic poems on weekends. Browse the Poem-A-Day archive.
