'The birds around me hoped and played,
Their thoughts i can not measure:-
But the least motion which they made
It seemed a thrill of pleasure.'
The persona uses pathetic fallacy, to show how he is liked to nature. And also uses the technique of a pun to explain the effects man has on nature, which is breaking the link.
'To her fair works did nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.'
The persona speaks in a a subjective tone to express his feelings in personal manner. Wordsworth uses visual image to describe spring.
'The budding twigs spread out their fan.'
Hayley Bard
