February, month of expectant joy.

Snowdrops photographed by Gill Henwood in her Lake District garden.

February
tiptoes across a winter landscape,
dressed in white array,
luring us away from cold depression 
of dark, dank January,
with dazzling brightness;
promising the hope of
Spring beyond.

Ah! What trembling beauty
lays a carpet of expectant joy!

[Mr G. Candemass]
