MEMORY OF APRIL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: YOU SAY LOVE IS THIS, LOVE IS THAT
Last Line: LOVE HAS NOT EVEN VISITED THIS COUNTRY.
Subject(s): APRIL;
You say love is this, love is that:
Poplar tassels, willow tendrils
the wind and the rain comb,
tinkle and drip, tinkle and drip --
branches drifting apart. Hagh!
Love has not even visited this country.
