The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg

The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg (23)

Like (114) a (1) tunnel (114) that (93) has (40) no (40) end (21)

As (1) they (41) search (84) us (11), we (3) all (1) wonder (92)

Are (2) they (41) eyes (23) of (92) a (1) devil (103), or (97) the (1) eyes (23) of (1) a (1) friend (128)?

The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg (23)

See (144) all (1) that (93) we (3) hold (31) dear (36)

From (23) the (1) golden (43) glow (144) of (23) our (172) success (172)

To (28) the (1) drifting (23) ashes (23) of (23) our (172) tears (141)

The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg (23)

Are (2) just (1) in (7) every (5) way (1)

Am (2) I (76) right (2)? Is (2) he (3) wrong (65)?

The (1) doctor (23) has (1) nothing (2) to (82) say (1)

The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg (23)

I (76) am (2) beginning (57) to (82) find (67) it (66) odd (158)

Why (3) do (3) we (3) dread (12) the (1) giant eyes (124)?

They (41) are (2) the (1) eyes of (23) God (10)

The (1) painted (9) eyes (23) of (63) our (172) God (10)

Stare (24) down upon (30) us (11) all (1)

The (1) eyes (23) were (180) there (2) when (2) we (3) rose (29)

And (2) they (41) will (9) be (9) there (24) when (25) we (11) fall (8)

The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg

The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg

Like a tunnel that has no end

As they search us, we all wonder

Are they eyes of a devil, or the eyes of a friend?

The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg

See all that we hold dear

From the golden glow of our success

To the drifting ashes of our tears

The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg’

Are just in every way

Am I right? Is he wrong?

The doctor has nothing to say

The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg

I am beginning to find it odd

Why do we dread the giant eyes?

They are the eyes of God

The painted eyes of our God

Stare down upon us all

The eyes were there when we rose

And they will be there when we fall
