Poem : April is the Cruellest Month

Thomas Stearns Eliot (Sep 26, 1888 - Jan 4, 1965)




April is the Cruellest Month
                       from The Waste Land

April is the curellest month, breeding
Lilacs our of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in foretful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
