Summary: "The Lord of Misrule and Other Poems" by Alfred Noyes is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. The poems often delve into themes of nature, love, and the passage of time, using evocative imagery and a romantic style. The titular poem, "The Lord of Misrule," introduces a raucous celebration led by a figure that embodies the spirit of spring, contrasting with the solemnity of a church service. The opening of the collection sets a whimsical tone as it recounts a May morning when the Lord of Misrule and his merry followers burst into a church, disrupting a dull sermon with their exuberant revelry. The speaker describes the joyous chaos as they enter, dancing and singing, and how this celebration follows the spirit of spring and life. The joyous antics are countered by a reflection on the significance of love and revival embodied within nature's cycles, establishing a vibrant atmosphere that invites readers to appreciate the complexities of life and emotion.
