The Pyramids of Egypt

The quiet environs of this waste Whose intense heat scalds the heart: In forming only dunes of sand Nature has displayed its Art.

The grandeur of these pyramids Puts lofty heavens to disgrace What hand did build, design and frame,

They seem attired in lasting grace? Set your craftsmanship quite free From Natureʹs chains that bind it tight For men endowed with gift of craft Arenʹt prey, of hunters need no fright.
