Hellebore

"Hey Jude/Song by The Beatles ? 1968"
--------------------------------------------
Blooming in snow, lifting the gloom
She spells right both beauty and doom

Tears of poor heartbroken shepherd
Bright flower with sepals colored

Hey Jude, you can't force her to bloom
Not in pot or in greenhouse fume

A sign for faith, love, hope, rebirth
Alluring tough flower on earth
