Do these contain 4 accented syllables?

When the north wind blows its icy air to cool the earth,
A creature secluded in the mountains of North America awakens
Refreshed by his summer slumber.

Many, many moons before, villagers named the beast Thor,
After the Norse god of thunder and were always listening for his wakening roar--
A bone-chilling half-growl, half-shriek, ricocheting off the mountains and echoing in the valleys.
