Which two statements express themes of the poem?
Green River
by William Cullen Bryant
When breezes are soft and skies are fair,
I steal an hour from study and care,
And hie me away to the woodland scene,
Where wanders the stream with waters of green,
5 As if the bright fringe of herbs on its brink
Had given their stain to they wave they drink;
And they, whose meadows it murmurs through,
Have named the stream from its own fair hue.
Through the seasons, nature has many beauties.
Nature offers a place of rest for those who are weary.
Humans desire control over nature.

In spring, nature is at the height of its loveliness.
O People envy the tranquility of nature.

Yet pure its waters-its shallows are bright
10 With colored pebbles and sparkles of light,
And clear the depths where its eddies play,
And dimples deepen and whirl away,
And the plane-tree's speckled arms o'ershoot
The swifter current that mines its roots,
15 Through whose shifting leaves, as you walk the
hill,
The quivering glimmer of sun and rill
With a sudden flash in the eye is thrown,
Like the ray that streams from the diamond stone.
Oh, loveliest there the spring days come,
20 With blossoms, and birds, and wild bees' hum;
The flowers of summer are fairest there,
And sweetest the golden autumn day
