1st Line
I met a traveler from an antique land,
2nd Line
Who said– “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
3rd Line
Stand in the desert…. Near them, on the sand,
4th Line
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
5th Line
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
6th Line
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
7th Line
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
8th Line
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
9th Line
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
10th Line
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
11th Line
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
12th Line
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
13th Line
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
14th Line
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
