Answer:
Lines Written in Early Spring" is English Romantic poet William Wordsworth's meditation on the harmony of nature—and on humanity's failure to follow nature's peaceful example. In the poem, written in 1798 and published in Wordsworth's and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads, a speaker reclines in a lovely grove on a spring morning. The joy he perceives in the natural world, and his belief that his own soul is somehow intimately connected to that joy, leads him to mourn "what man has made of man"—in other words, the cruelty, selfishness, and fighting that characterize humanity. The poem argues that while humans are part of nature, they sure don't act like it.
I heard a thousand interwoven notes of birdsong while I lay in a grove, where I was enjoying the kind of mood in which happy thoughts remind you of sad ones.
Nature connected my soul to all the beautiful creatures around me—and I felt terribly sad to think about what humanity has done to itself.
Periwinkles grew through bunches of primroses under the green trees, and I believe that all flowers find joy in the very air they breathe.
Birds hopped playfully around me. I can't know what they think, but to me, it looked like all of their tiny movements gave them a shiver of pleasure.
The budding branches spread out like opening fans to catch the breeze. In spite of myself, I have to believe that they were taking pleasure in life, too.
If my belief in all this natural joy is heaven-sent, and if all I've perceived here is part of Nature's divine plan, doesn't it make sense that I should be sad about what humanity has done to itself?
