Careless and conventional writing
This is a poor poem. To what subject does the second use of the verb "rise" relate in stanza 1? If it relates to "joy" it should be singular. Has Barker been seduced by the GCSE mistake of following "things" and thinking his subject is plural? Not important usually, but necessary in poetry. Has anyone seen a Nightingale on a Leaf (line 10)??
