Default Help ID'ing a Flower

Hi there!

I had a flower pop up out of nowhere this Spring (squirrels, perhaps?) and I
cannot ID it. From afar I thought it was a Lily of the Valley gone loose,
but when I came up on it, I realized I had no clue what it was. The flower
is bell-like, and almost sculpted. The flower is white with six yellow
stamens/petals. They are high up on a stalk, with maybe 3 - 7 flowers per
stalk, mostloy close together. It smells like a hyacinth, and it even looks
like a hyacinth, just very loose and with many, many fewer flowers.

I need to move the plant or it will eventually get trampled, but since I
don't know what it is, I am not sure what to do with it.

Thanks for helping. I have tried over the past few days to figure it out on
my own, and I am at a loss. I think when I learn the answer, I will be
saying, "Duh, I knew that," but for now I am just saying, "Duh," period.
