| foot Waters of the Waingunga whither went | Q |
| Shere Khan | R |
| He is not Ikki to dig holes nor Mao the Peacock that | S |
| he should fly He is not Mang the Bat to hang | T |
| in the branches Little bamboos that creak to | M |
| gether tell me where he ran | U |
| Ow He is there Ahoo He is there Under the | D |
| feet of Rama lies the Lame One Up Shere | V |
| Khan Up and kill Here is meat break the | D |

| it There is a great assembly in his honour | V |
| Alala I have no cloth to wrap me The kites will | H |
| see that I am naked I am ashamed to meet all | Z |
| these people | A2 |
| Lend me thy coat Shere Khan Lend me thy gay | B2 |
| striped coat that I may go to the Council Rock | C2 |
| By the Bull that bought me I have made a promise | D2 |
| a little promise Only thy coat is lacking before I | E2 |
| keep my word | F2 |
| With the knife with the knife that men use with | G2 |
| the knife of the hunter the man I will stoop down | X |
| for my gift | H2 |
| Waters of the Waingunga bear witness that Shere | V |
| Khan gives me his coat for the love that he bears | I2 |
| me Pull Gray Brother Pull Akela Heavy is | P |
| the hide of Shere Khan | R |
| The Man Pack are angry They throw stones and talk | J2 |
| child's talk My mouth is bleeding Let us run | C |
| away | B2 |
| Through the night through the hot night run swiftly | K2 |
| with me my brothers We will leave the lights | L2 |
| of the village and go to the low moon | M2 |
| Waters of the Waingunga the Man Pack have cast me | K2 |
| out I did them no harm but they were afraid of | N2 |
| me Why | E2 |
| Wolf Pack ye have cast me out too The jungle is | P |
| shut to me and the village gates are shut Why | E2 |
| As Mang flies between the beasts and the birds so fly | E2 |
| I between the village and the jungle Why | E2 |
| I dance on the hide of Shere Khan but my heart is | P |
| very heavy My mouth is cut and wounded with | G2 |
| the stones from the village but my heart is very | K2 |
| light because I have come back to the jungle | A2 |
| Why | E2 |
| These two things fight together in me as the snakes | O2 |
| fight in the spring The water comes out of my | E2 |
| eyes yet I laugh while it falls Why | E2 |
| I am two Mowglis but the hide of Shere Khan is under | V |
| my feet | P2 |
| All the jungle knows that I have killed Shere Khan | R |
| Look look well O Wolves | Q2 |
| Ahae My heart is heavy with the things that I do | M |
| not understand | R2 |
| - | |
| Oh hush thee my baby the night is behind us | D2 |
| And black are the waters that sparkled so green | S2 |
| The moon o'er the combers looks downward to find us | D2 |
| At rest in the hollows that rustle between | S2 |
| Where billow meets billow there soft be thy pillow | Y |
| Ah weary wee flipperling curl at thy ease | T2 |
| The storm shall not wake thee nor shark overtake thee | K2 |
| Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas | T2 |
