“Ferdinand De Soto, sleeping
In the river, never heard
Four-and-twenty Spanish hooves
Fling off their iron and cut the green,
Leaving circles new and clean
While overhead the wing-tips whirred.”

“And every stone shall cry,
In praises of the child
By whose descent among us
The worlds are reconciled.”
