Show transcript
Wordsworth expresses the idea of harmony in nature through ‘Lines Written in Early Spring’. The speaker’s appreciation of nature is pierced by his lament for the actions of mankind. Arguably, the poem expresses a disconnect and lack of understanding between mankind and nature. Wordsworth was a Romantic poet. The poem could also be lamenting the move away from agriculture that came with the Industrial Revolution.
