| Publisher Description: "BALLADE OF CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE.Ye giant shades of Ra and Tum, Ye ghosts of gods Egyptian, If murmurs of our planet come To exiles in the precincts wan Where, fetish or Olympian, To help or harm no more ye list, Look down, if look ye may, and scan This monument in London mist Behold, the hieroglyphs are dumb That once were read of him that ran When seistron, cymbal, trump, and drum Wild music of the Bull began; When through the chanting priestly clan Walk‟d Ramses, and the high sun kiss‟d This stone, with blessing scored and ban- This monument in London mist." |
