T.S. Eliot (1888–1965).  The Waste Land.  1922.

The Waste Land



I. THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD

APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
 
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing 
Memory and desire, stirring 
Dull roots with spring rain. 
Winter kept us warm, covering         5
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding 
A little life with dried tubers.



Love in April, always tender,
never easy
