Description
Nothing is so beautiful as Spring
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrush eggs look little low heavens, and thrush Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.
from 'Spring' by Gerard Manley Hopkins
There are a couple of self seeded pear trees on Talbot Heath, and they reminded me of this sonnet.
There is a more 'arty' version Here

Why does RR rearrange the lines in this poem? I typed it out in sonnet form as it was written and then when I click 'save' it posts it like something completely different! Grrrr!

They're my favorite Bartletts I hope, and what's this, blue sky in the UK? Lovely photo, ignoring the fact that RR overstepped their bounds and butchered your sonnet.
