Explanation:

Spring by Gerard Manley Hopkins

‘Spring’ by Gerard Manley Hopkins is a fourteen line poem that conforms to the pattern of an Italian, or Petrarchan, sonnet. This means that beyond having fourteen lines, the poem also follows a pattern of ABBAABBA in the first eight lines. This section of the poem is known as the octet. In the second section, known as the sestet, the six lines follow a pattern of CDCDCD. While the sestet is known to vary in Petrarchan sonnets, the pattern Hopkins chose for ‘Spring’ is one of the most traditional.

Another feature that is common to sonnets is a turn or volta. This is seen through a change in speaker, setting, or belief. Often times the second half of the poem provides an answer to a question posed in the first. In the case of ‘Spring’ there is a distinct separation between the octet and sestet, this signals the change and also emphasizes the difference between the two parts. The first stanza is a clear depiction of the beauty of spring. While the second is addressed to Christ, willing him to save the innocent children.

In regards to the meter, the pattern is not the traditional one that is usually associated with sonnets. Normally, Petrarchan and Shakespearean sonnets have ten syllables per line and follow a pattern known as iambic pentameter. In the case of ‘Spring’ Hopkins changed up the number of syllables, in some cases shrinking it down to nine and in others stretching the lines out to thirteen syllables.

The poem is a perfect example of a technique Hopkins was well-known for and can be seen in multiple pieces of his poetry, known as sprung rhyme. Sprung rhyme is kind of rhyme that clusters together the stressed and unstressed syllables. They appear suddenly together, giving the phrases they emphasize a special importance.

Summary of Spring

‘Spring’ by Gerard Manley Hopkins describes the joys of spring against a backdrop of religious references to the Garden of Eden and sin.

The poem begins with the speaker giving a fairly straightforward description of spring and the wonders it can bring. He finds the season to be cleansing and rejuvenating. This is made clear through the depiction of a thrush flying through the woods and “rins[ing] and wring[ing]” the world around it. The winter, and with it mistakes and sins, are washed away.

The religious imagery continues to develop in the second stanza as the speaker directly addresses God. He asks that Christ make sure that the “innocent” children are saved from the sin that doomed the Garden of Eden.
