Answer:

'Lines Written in Early Spring' is written in quatrains rhyming abab; the metre is iambic pentameter, that rhythm of living speech (in the English language, at least) that was what Wordsworth was trying to capture in Lyrical Ballads, as his 1800 Preface would make clear

In this poem Wordsworth describes a bittersweet moment. The speaker reclines in a beautiful grove surrounded by the "blended notes" of nature, and yet, even as he enjoys the scene, it inspires a melancholy mood and the speaker begins to have dark thoughts about humanity:

  • 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.

Nature has connected itself to the speaker's soul, leading him to sadly consider "What man has made of man." Even as he does this, however, he takes in the beautiful scene that surrounds him:

  • To her fair works did Nature link
  • The human soul that through 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.

At the end of the poem the speaker looks more closely at the seemingly jubilant birds, plants, and other creatures of nature, trying to decide whether or not they are really full of pleasure. He decides that they are. In the last stanza, he asks whether, if it is true that nature is full of pleasure, he then has a good reason to be sad about "what man has made of man":

  • 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?

Hope it helps. Pls mark as brainliest.
