The poems in the collection "Poems on Nature" are divided into four sections: spring, summer, autumn, and winter, reflecting the changes of the seasons and the passage of time in verse. This edition, part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library, contains classic works in a beautiful pocket format. Ideal as gifts or for any book lover, it includes an introduction by Helen Macdonald, author of the internationally bestselling book, H is for Hawk. Since the beginning of poetic art, nature has inspired poems that highlight our complex relationship with the natural environment. Poets like Andrew Marvell, W. B. Yeats, and Emily Brontë have attempted to describe this relationship through their verses. It also includes a rich tradition of songs and poems, such as "Scarborough Fair," which highlights a rural life that may have been lost but comes alive in the lyrical verses of this collection.
