"The Last Spring" is a sad piece of music. The text tells of a dying man who is aware his is observing his last spring. In the period between 1877 - 1880, Grieg produced a set of songs as his Op. 33 on texts by a man some called the peasant-poet of Norway, Aasmund Vinje (1818 - 1870). The composer had been greatly inspired by the then-late poet's verses, so much so that after completing the set, he decided to arrange two of its songs for string orchestra, this one, The Last Spring and The Wounded Heart.
