Analysis of I So Liked Spring
Charlotte Mary Mew 1869 (Bloomsbury, London) – 1928 (London)
I so liked Spring last year
Because you were here;-
The thrushes too-
Because it was these you so liked to hear-
I so liked you.
This year's a different thing,-
I'll not think of you.
But I'll like the Spring because it is simply spring
As the thrushes do.
