The ordinary, but shepherd-like and curious enough to look realistically at the nature, Speaker of this poem shall be married; this much realizing the subtle fears and emotions of a "married ear" and sympathizing with it.

Names of specific various flowers and animals, indicating the time of year- the first days of spring - accompanied some other rustic words i.e. shepherd and ploughman brings to the mind the image of a rural life, something like what we saw in " Winter" ( the same author)

In both, out of some onomatopoeic words for a bird song and realistic sceneries of nature, the true beauty and ugliness is doubted. While we all suppose spring to be the most beautiful fantastic global fete, the poet shows us a mocking unpleasing view out of that. Or on the other hand he shows us a delicate heartsome scene in the lifeless vapid "Winter."

Again in both the musicality of the words and right diction of the rural setting and season plays the major role. The semi humorous tone helps the habituated literature of "Spring" in case of the new view ans sarcastic butt.

There are some words that can be defined for a better understanding:

1. the cuckoo occupies the nest and eats the eggs of other bird. It was usual to alarm a husband at the approach of an adulterer by calling out cuckoo., which by mistake was applied in the person warned.(1)
2. Garden cress, botanically was called Cardomine, a diminutive of Cardamom, called in Latin Nasturtium, sometimes called nose-smart ( kara-damon, Heart-afflicting), so nasturtium is nasi-tortium ( nose-twisting), called so in sequence of its pungency, Called Ladies smock because the flowers resemble linen exposed to whiten on grass. There is, however, a purple tint which mars its perfect whiteness. Another name for the plant is " cuckoo-flower ", because it comes into flower when the cuckoo sings.(2)
3. Pied is an adjective to mean having two or more colors in blotches and can suit spring flowers very well.
4. Oaten-straw is a dry coarse stem out of oat grass. Turtles and daws are spring animals.
