Snow Moon from Nightjar by Liz Overs
I watch and film the murmuring birds every winter. Their bedtime stories peak in February around the time of the snow moon. First verse lyric about lunar planting from Thomas Tusser.

Lyrics
Sowe peason and beanes in the wane of the moon
Who soweth them sooner he soweth too soone
That they with the planet may rest and arise
And flourish with bearing most plentifull wise
I talk with the moon and the moon knows my heart
When I was a young child I wished on a star
I wish we could all take a rest and arise
With courage enough to be gentle of mind
Moonlight inspires the billowing tide
To move with a power that won’t be denied
Murmuring wings in the dying of the sun
The full snow moon has come
