Lines Written in Early Spring

William words worth

I heard a thousand blended notes,

While in a grove i sate reclined,

In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts 

Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

To her fair works did Nature link

The human soul that though me ran;

And much it grieved my heart to think

What man has made of man.

Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,

The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;

And 'tis my faith that every flower 

Enjoys the air it breathes.

The birds around me hopped and played,

Their thoughts i cannot measure:-

But the least motion which they made

it seemed a thrill of pleasure.

The budding twigs spread out their fan,

To catch the breezy air;

And i must think, do all i can,

That there was pleasure there.

if this belief from heaven be sent,

if such be Nature's holy plan,

Have i not reason to lament

What man has made of man?
