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 Bronte 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.
