Nature Notes 9

I remember learning this poem as a small child . I’d forgotten all about it until I heard the weather forecast mentioning high winds when I remembered the line March brings breezes sharp and shrill… I had no idea that the poem was by Coleridge’s daughter or that it was written so very long ago. I can’t imagine a book of children’s poems these days being given a title like this one!
