Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death's twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death's twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.
The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
Is it like this
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot
