Poems of W.B. Yeats: The Rose
What are the smaller desert birds like?
The Second Coming (written in the year 1919, after the First World War)
The Second Coming (written in the year 1919, after the First World War)
The desert birds are indignant or annoyed.
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The Second Coming
