Ye giant shades of RA and TUM, br Ye ghosts of gods Egyptian, br If murmurs of our planet come br To exiles in the precincts wan br Where, fetish or Olympian, br To help or harm no more ye list, br Look down, if look ye may, and scan br This monument in London mist! br br Behold, the hieroglyphs are dumb br That once were read of him that ran br When seistron, cymbal, trump, and drum br Wild music of the Bull began; br When through the chanting priestly clan br Walk'd Ramses, and the high sun kiss'd br This stone, with blessing scored and ban - br This monument in London mist. br br The stone endures though gods be numb; br Though human effort, plot, and plan br Be sifted, drifted, like the sum br Of sands in wastes Arabian. br What king may deem him more than man, br What priest says Faith can Time resist br While THIS endures to mark their span - br This monument in London mist? br br ENVOY.
