Snowbird
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean

For its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings a song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
That will bloom again in spring

The Keystone
The Iveagh Market - one of Dublin's abandoned treasures
A keystone is the wedge-shaped stone piece at the apex of a masonry vault or arch, which is the final piece placed during construction and locks all the stones into position, allowing the arch to bear weight. (Wikipedia)
