Read the given poem carefully and answer the questions given below: LINES WRITTEN IN EARLY SPRING I heard a thousand blended notes, While in a grove I sat reclined, In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts Bring sad thoughts to the mind. To her fair works did Nature link The human soul through me ran; And much it grieved my heart to think What man has made of man. Though primrose tufts, in that green bower, The periwinkle trailed its wreaths; And’ tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes; The birds around me hopped and played, Their thoughts I cannot measure; But the least motion which they made It seemed a thrill of pleasure. The budding twigs spread out their fan, To catch the breezy air; And I must think, do all I can, That there was pleasure there.
