Now towards another pole she's leant, ⁠
And netherward for partner draws her shade. . .⁠

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

it moves--not into April--into a second March . . .⁠
