Flower in the Snow by Allan Taylor, from Lines released 1988. Between 1986 and 1993, he was working towards his Ph.D. at Queen's University, Belfast. When Allan Taylor finished writing this song, he was not particularly impressed by the result. But his wife thought it had something special in it. He persevered with it - and she was right! Susannes Folksong-Notizen; The song came so quickly I almost put it aside as it had seemed too easy to write. It was only after a month or so that I realised it had a certain innocent charm that only comes with pure inspiration. It is one of the most simple songs I have written, yet it is one of the most requested. (Taylor, Songs 39)
