"Spring"

The imagery of this poem is primarily sight. "When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely lush..." (line 2). "...glassy peartree leaves..." (line 6). These two phrases give the reader pictures of spring. The phrases, "descending blue" and "earth's sweet being" help to describe the richness of spring. Spring represents new life because winter is over and the plants are blooming and turning green again. The Garden of Eden is also mentioned and so are children. These all share a common thread. They all represent the beginning. They are innocent and pure. This poem could also be a Christian poem because it mentions Christ which ties into new life. Christ was sent to earth to grant people new life.
