The Hunter

Glenway Wescott

YOU asked me what I did

In peaked New Mexico,

Where lives the most wild beauty

To which a man may go.

And I answer that I pursued

Content that would go in a song

Upon its silvery mountains

So vainly and so long

That if it were bear or lion

Which I had hunted there

I should now be like Orion,

Fixed hungry in the air.
