Two Songs of Advent

By Yvor Winters


I ON the desert, between pale mountains, our cries;
Far whispers creeping through an ancient shell.

II Coyote, on delicate mocking feet,
Hovers down the canyon, among the mountains,
His voice running wild in the wind’s valleys.	5

Listen! listen! for I enter now your thought.
