The Gods Remember (Howard)

The Gods Remember (draft)

Lost wonders of the ages Lie smoldered into embers—  The naked breasts of Isis Baal-pteor still remembers.
When Time has left his turret These memories shall last—  Astarte’s dimpled shoulders The ivory thighs of Bast.
Tyre’s towers lie in ruins, And Babel’s shrines are rotten—  Where are the kings that worshipped? The Ruler has forgotten.
He dreams of strange eyed mermaids He kissed by nameless seas—  The times he lay in pleasure Between Mylitta’s knees.)
