  • The year's at the spring,
    And day's at the morn;
    Morning's at seven;
    The hill-side's dew-pearl'd;
    The lark's on the wing;
    The snail's on the thorn;
    God's in His heaven--
    All's right with the world !

    To have enjoy'd the sun,

  • Nothing is so beautiful as Spring—
    When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush

    Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
    The ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.
    • Gerard Manley Hopkins, "Spring"
