Spring Fairies in the Nest

Nothing is so beautiful as spring --
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
The glassy pear tree leaves and blooms, they brush
The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling. 
       - Gerard Manley Hopkins
 

I've been busy making Spring fairies as the weather has warmed and the flowers in my garden have begun to bloom.
