Lines Written in Early Spring
BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;
And ’tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.

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?

It’s early but after an hour of watching war and trump news I welcome this peaceful moment. Plus, as a retired English teacher I’m delighted to revisit Wordsworth’s thoughts. Thanks for posting.
