I dug and dug amongst the snow, <br />And thought the flowers would never grow; <br />I dug and dug amongst the sand, <br />And still no green thing came to hand. <br />Melt, O snow! the warm winds blow <br />To thaw the flowers and melt the snow; <br />But all the winds from every land <br />Will rear no blossom from the sand.<br /><br />Christina Georgina Rossetti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-dug-and-dug-amongst-the-snow/
