Uncircumscribed unmeasured vast	A
Eternal as the Sea	B
What lacks the tidal sea thou hast	A
Profound stability	B
	-
Beneath the sun that burns and brands	C
In hushed Noon's halting breath	D
Calm as the Sphinx upon thy sands	C
Thou art nay calm as death	D
	-
The desert foxes hide in holes	E
The jackal seeks his lair	F
The sombre rocks like reddening coals	E
Glow lurid in the glare	F
	-
Only some vulture far away	G
Bald headed harpy eyed	H
Flaps down on lazy wing to prey	G
On what has lately died	H
	-
No palm tree lifts a lonely shade	I
No dove is on the wing	J
It seems a land which Nature made	I
Without a living thing	J
	-
Or wreckage of some older world	K
Ere children grew or flowers	L
When rocks and hissing stones were hurled	K
In hot volcanic showers	L
	-
The solemn Blue bends over all	M
Far as winged thought may flee	B
Roll ridges of black mountain wall	M
And flat sands like the sea	B
	-
No trace of footsteps to be seen	N
No tent no smoking roof	O
Nay even the vagrant Beeshareen	N
Keeps warily aloof	O
	-
But yon mid tumbled hillocks prone	N
Some human form I scan	N
A human form indeed but stone	N
A cold colossal Man	N
	-
How came he here mid piling sands	C
Like some huge cliff enisled	K
Osiris wise with folded hands	C
Mute spirit of the Wild	K
	-
Ages ago the hands that hewed	K
And in the living rock	P
Carved this Colossus granite thewed	K
And curled each crispy lock	P
	-
Ages ago have dropped to rest	K
And left him passive prone	N
Forgotten on earth's barren breast	K
Half statue and half stone	N
	-
And Persia ruled and Palestine	N
And o'er her violet seas	Q
Arose with marble gods divine	N
The grace of god like Greece	R
	-
And Rome the Mistress of the World	K
Amid her diadem	S
Of Eastern Empires set impearled	K
The Scarab's mystic gem	S
	-
Perchance he has been lying here	T
Since first the world began	N
Poor Titan of some earlier sphere	U
Of prehistoric Man	N
	-
To whom we are as idle flies	V
That fuss and buzz their day	K
While still immutable he lies	V
As long ago he lay	K
	-
Empurpled in the Afterglow	W
Thou with the Sun alone	N
Of all the stormy waste below	W
Art King but king of stone	N
	-
Uncircumscribed unmeasured vast	K
Eternal as the Sea	B
The present here becomes the past	K
For all futurity	K
