| Thou sign post of the Desert Obelisk | B |
| Once fronting in thy monumental pride | C |
| Egypt's fierce sun that blazing far and wide | C |
| Sheared her of tree and herb till like a disk | B |
| Her waste stretched shadowless and fraught with risk | B |
| To those who with their beasts of burden hied | C |
| Across the seas of sand until they spied | C |
| Thy pillar and their flagging hearts grew brisk | B |
| - | |
| Now reared beside out Thames so wintry grey | D |
| Where blocks of ice drift with the drifting stream | E |
| Thou risest o'er the alien prospect Say | D |
| Yon dull blear rayless orb whose lurid gleam | E |
| Tinges the snow draped ships and writhing steam | E |
| Is this the sun which fired thine orient day | D |
