Then, we moved on to place the two poems side by side and consider them in comparison. Both poems deal with themes related to nature, and this week\u00a0students have shown an exceptional sensitivity to the messages and ideas that are to be found in these two poems. They have shown that they are able to interact with the poem carefully and thoughtfully.
