自诗歌出现以来,就有关于自然的诗歌; 这是一个复杂的主题,激发了一些有史以来美丽的诗歌的灵感。 从安德鲁·马维尔(Andrew Marvell)到叶芝(W. B. Yeats)和艾米丽·勃朗特(Emily Brontë),诗人都试图描述自然环境以及我们与自然环境的关系。 还有丰富的歌曲和韵律传统,例如《斯卡伯勒集市》,它们让人回想起乡村生活方式,这种生活方式现在可能已经消失,但在这本专辑中的抒情诗句中又复活了。
The poems in Poems on Nature are divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter to reflect in verse the changes of the seasons and the passing of time.

Since poetry began, there have been poems about nature; it’s a complex subject that has inspired some of the most beautiful poetry ever written. Poets from Andrew Marvell to W. B. Yeats and Emily Brontë have sought to describe the natural environment and our relationship with it. There is also a rich tradition of songs and rhymes, such as ’Scarborough Fair’, that hark back to a rural way of life which may now be lost, but is brought back to life in the lyrical verses included in this collection.
Helen MacDonald is Australian Research Council Future Fellow at the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
