The winter's hurt recovers with the warm; The parched green restored is with shade.
The sun hath twice brought forth the tender green,
And clad the earth in lively lustiness;
Once have the winds the trees despoiled clean,
And now again begins their cruelness,
Since I have hid under my breast the harm
That never shall recover healthfulness.
The winter's hurt recovers with the warm;
The parched green restored is with shade.
Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1517 – 1547) was an English aristocrat, and one of the founders of English Renaissance poetry.
Surrey and his friend Thomas Wyatt were the first English poets to write in the sonnet form that Shakespeare later used, and Henry was the first English poet to publish blank verse.
