For an eighteen-line song, "Spring" has more than its fair share of flowers, but that's really no big surprise. Flowers are often used symbolically to represent springtime and rebirth, as well as beauty and femininity. Shakespeare certainly employs these symbolic aspects here. However, the Bard takes this flower thing a step further. Things get really interesting when we consider what specific flower types represent symbolically and how these symbolic readings inform the song's interpretation.
