Relationship between the two

Spring is one of the few poems in this week's collection that seems to be somewhat joyful. This is mostly due to the fact that it compares Spring (a normally happy/beautiful time of year) to the Garden of Eden (a place of infinite beauty and joy). Throughout the poem there are words and references that seem to compare the two. For example, peartree could represent the tree from which Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree causing original sin. "Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy." This line can be easily seen as representing Adam and Eve. As the line describes, the two were very innocent minded even though they disobeyed God's will. So my reaction to this poem was that the speaker was just trying to describe how beautiful he or she thought Spring was. Comparing it to the Garden of Eden makes it appear even more appealing and joyful.
