Spring is described, with its sprouting hedges and blowing violets. The
whole landscape changes in colour, with the warmer weather;
"And drown'd in yonder living blue
The lark becomes a sightless song."[81]
Who has not heard the lark, after it has become invisible in the heavens?
The migratory "birds that change their sky"[82] return and build their
nests;
"and my regret
Becomes an April violet,
And buds and blossoms like the rest."
He is cheered by the opening season.
