Night in the Desert

G. Ross

Endless reaches of grey sand,

Waves of the sea

Save that these waves are motionless.

Far off, the solemn mountains

Towering to the sky.

A flood of light upon the Lonely piaces.

Silver light, and chill.

Silence, and a cold wind

From out the andiess Spaces

The dull grey sanas of deserted pinces.

A lone coyote wailing to the silver moon!
