Spring

This poem has a more of a positive tone. It also is religious. I think it is talking about Easter when it talks about Easter, lambs, and "innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy". These parts compare because they all hae to do with new life. Eden= Spring. The garden of Eden was beautiful and full of life and spring is also full of life. The image of the "glassy peartree" is really cool. That just seems so pure and calm to me. The allusions to The Garden of Eden and to Christ help the reader understand what comparison is being made. Spring is being compared to the pureness of Christ. It is being described as the blossoming time of year. "The racing lambs too have fair their fling", the image of racing lambs also contributes to the purity of spring. There is also a lot of alliteration included in this poem. "When weeds, in wheels,..." and also "long, and lovely, and lush." This helps to make the poem flow better.
