Fifty Shades of Spring-logo

Fifty Shades of Spring

William Wordsworth

Nature’s year begins. Temperatures slowly rise. Green gradually becomes the dominant colour of the landscape. Rain from drenching showers to windy squalls help nourish the land. Nature has embarked on her epic symphony of the year. Each year, each season, each day is a little different from her previous work. Days lengthen as her canvas and palette grows more confident. Colour emerges from the shades of monochrome. She is at work on tasks everywhere. Naturally our classic poets rise to the challenge knowing that they will only be able to detail fragments or broad brush stroke the whole. They ponder, they write, they wonder. 01 - Fifty Shades of Spring - An Introduction 02 - The Year's at the Spring by Robert Browning 03 - A Spring Poem from Bion by Eugene Field 04 - A March Snow by Ella Wheeler Wilcox 05 - Very Early Spring by Katherine Mansfield 06 - The Life of Love - Spring by Kahlil Gibran 07 - Lines Written In Early Spring by William Wordsworth 08 - To A Daisy Found Blooming March 7th by John Hartley 09 - A Shropshire Lad XXIX - The Lent Lilly by A E Housman 10 - March by John Payne 11 - Daffodils by William Wordsworth 12 - March by A E Housman 13 - Song of Haiwatha (Extract) by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 14 - March - An Ode by Algernon Charles Swinburne 15 - A Light Exists in Spring by Emily Dickinson 16 - Sonnet XLIII.
