Have you heard the Snowdrops ringingA
Their bells to themselvesB
Smaller and whiter than the singingA
Of any fairy elvesB
Who follow Mab their QueenC
When she is wingingA
On a moth across the nightD
And calls them allE
With a far twinkling callE
Like the tiniest ray of tiniest starlightD
That ever was seenC
-
-
Far and near high and lowF
Don't you hear the little bells goF
Not in the big winds that blowF
The roaring beeches to and froF
Not in the lower riversG
Of the breezeH
Below the treesH
When the stiff bracken shinesI
And the thin bent quiversI
And the limp green waves to and froF
You shall hear the little bells goF
-
-
But in the jets and rivuletsI
That sputter from the melting snowsI
When against the mighty boleJ
Of a beech they dash and swirlK
And twist and twirlK
The licking leaves throwF
A thousand airy drops invisibleL
Down the strong perpendicularM
To where the snowdrops areN
Tiny drops that fall and meetO
And swift and sweetO
Run dim viewless course of fitful forceI
Like an airy waterfallE
You shall hear the little bells goF
All the tiny snowbells swingingA
Tiny chauntlets high and lowF
