Write an essay of at least 150 words discussing the theme of Coleridge's sonnet "Work without Hope" and how it might relate to the themes developed Nectar in a Sieve. Make sure you provide examples from each text to support your analysis and inferences.

The poem is an unconventional sonnet; it develops a main idea in the first twelve lines, and is capped by a big thought in the final couplet. The poem follows a narrator describing the industriousness of nature’s creatures, preparing for the coming spring. All of Creation is at work, but the speaker is sullen as the only creature he can see who finds himself without an occupation.
