They may not mean to but they do.
They leave you trunkless legs of stone,
And add some visage, just for you.
The statue fell down long ago;
No one will mind me stopping here
To watch the sand o’er ruins blow.
My camel friend must think it queer
To rest with no oasis near
And precious little shade these days
Gives Ozymandias, I fear.
(1/2)
I have looked on
the works
that were in
the desert
and which
you were probably
thinking
would still stand
Forgive me
they were trunkless
so vast
and so old
They may not mean to but they do.
They leave you trunkless legs of stone,
And add some visage, just for you.
