Written in Early Spring – William Wordsworth

In this poem the poet rejoices and laments at the same time, dwelling on the connection between man and nature. The poet says when he was sitting near a tree; he heard a thousand of mixed notes. According to the poet nature gives him all notes and knowledge rather than a text book. When he was in nature he was with full of sweet mood and pleasant thoughts about nature, suddenly he becomes sad because his mind starts thinking of something which changes his sweet mood into sad mood.
The nature is very beautiful and when the poet sits among the nature he is very happy and his soul is connected with the beautiful creation of nature, but it gave him pain when he starts thinking about mankind. He also wonders what man has made of himself? In the third stanza the poet talks about the beauty of nature through describing the happiness of primrose. There is a small arched enclosure made by overhanging trees and flowers where bunches of primrose are seen coiled by the leaves of periwinkle, an ever green plant. So the poet believes that every flower enjoys the fresh air it breathes.
Then the poet says that when he was sitting in the nature the birds around him jumped and played. The poet can guess that they are happy but he is not able to measure the level of their happiness. But it seems that even a small movement in their life gives them happiness. The next stanza talks about the branches of trees. The poet says that even the branches of a tree spread out their fresh leaves to catch the wind, through which one can guess that even they are happy with the early spring.
The last stanza sums up the poem with the poets complaint about man. The poet says that whatever I have described about the holy nature - if this thought has come from heaven, then I have every season to feel sad about the plight of man.
