Undoubtedly my ideas are a little late to help Allison, but they may be of
use to anyone else studying this poem!
The reference to April in the first line I interpreted as relating to T.S.
Eliot in the opening of 'The Wasteland' (which, in turn, is a reference to
Chaucer's 'Prologue To The Canterbury Tales').
As the poem was written in 1921 (post-WWI), it depicts the imagery of the
horrors of this war, which was a familiar modernist concern (T.S. Eliot in
particular).The final stanza sums up modernist concerns perfectly, in my
opinion. Read Eliot's 'Wasteland' and I think that will really inform your
reading of this poem.
