Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king,
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing:
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

Unbelievably bad. A child of eight could do better. All that is famous is not neccessarily quality. We must never be afraid to be critical, or we will never learn,
Spring the king. Let us welcome spring. I like this poem. I invite you to read my poems and comment.
Anyone with good knowledge of poetry please help: ..fields breathe sweet. Is that an example of personification or not? ? Please help. Would like to hear from you.

I love the open free feeling of this poem! makes me eager for spring! Thank you, nice job!
spring is always good to me grass leap from their root men women walk barefoot daises daffodils bloom birds sing their song lovers come early lay on grass all day
I like this daft poem. It has the spring of Spring in it! We know only a shadow of the joy with which people greeted spring in those days. If the poem is recited the sound of the different birds should be imitated. As for rhyme - it looks good to me. I would have thought the modern ear would have been used to half-rhymes - popular song is full of them. Anyway “fit”, “seat” and “greet” probably rhymed then.
Did anyone notice that poor Thomas wrote 3 versions of this poem and died at 34 years of age? Over 400 years ago, possibly from In Time of Pestilence, which is a superior poem to this. Seems was not a time of joy blooming. I hope Poor Thomas had his chance then when 'maids dance in a ring' because country life then seems far from rosy.
Birds, plants, flowers and men dance to the tune of Spring! Nature is beautiful with the joy of Spring with songs of birds thrilling the hearts of all!
Are you forty or something? This poem tells me I shouldn't be here right now cause it's so bad.
It brings a little bit of Yee olde days of yours to the present. I can't wait for it. Great originality. (Spring that is)
I'm giving it a 10 because it was one of the first poems I ever read in the early spring of my life and the poem sounds perfect!
Emotional feeling
