[Page] 14. The title and first three lines are in blue ink; then there are twelve lines in pencil, the final one deleted. It is unclear whether
a) the poem was to begin and end with lines about ‘The little negro girl’; or
b) TSE, when he took up his pencil, started the poem again, with ‘Geraniums’...
The little negro girl who lives across the alley
Brings back a red geranium from church;
She repeats her little formulae of God.
Geraniums, geraniums
On a third-floor window sill.
Their perfume comes
With the smell of heat
From the asphalt street.
Geraniums geraniums
Withered and dry
Long laid by
In the sweepings of the memory.
The little negro girl across the alley
Brings a geranium from Sunday school
T.S. Eliot released Easter: Sensations of April [I] on Mon Jan 01 1996.
