Imbolc

[Mark A Becker]

Hey rowens-

Since yours alludes to midwinter, it brought to mind the first verse of this one, for me, at least:

In the Bleak Midwinter
by Christina Rossetti, 1872

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
