Spring Poems 2: ”Lines Written in Early Spring,” Wordsworth, ”Song: Calm was the Even, and Clear was the Sky,” Dryden

1) William Wordsworth, "Lines Written in Early Spring"

 

Nature in Spring joyously celebrates life, putting the poet "reclined

In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts

Bring sad thoughts to the mind."

Beside nature's beauty, we must place what man has done in this fallen world:

"Have I not reason to lament,

What man has made of man?"

 

2) John Dryden, "Song: Calm was the Even, and Clear was the Sky"

Lyric and whimsical. The lover self-consciously presses his case.
