Answer: by telling the reader it was spring.

Explanation: in the poem

Williams sets up a contrast between Icarus' falling and the spring. It makes the reader think of another contrast, birth and death. Both pair of words are like two sides of the same coin. Spring is birth, abundance, opposed to the Icarus' falling.
