Rudyard Kipling Poems
- The Floods

In the hills above us, in the hills;
And presently the floods break way
Whose strength is in the hills. ... - Gentlmen-rankers

To my brethren in their sorrow overseas,
Sings a gentleman of England cleanly bred, machinely crammed,
And a trooper of the Empress, if you please. ... - My New-cut Ashler
My New-Cut ashlar takes the light
Where crimson-blank the windows flare.
By my own work before the night,
Great Overseer, I make my prayer. ... - A Song Of Travel

'Neath the wrack of Greece and Rome. ... - The "mary Gloster"

Dick, it's your daddy, dying; you've got to listen to him!
Good for a fortnight, am I? The doctor told you? He lied.
I shall go under by morning, and, Put that nurse outside. ...
