UNDER THE DEODARS.

 

BY

RUDYARD KIPLING.

 

---

"And since he cannot spend nor use aright
The little time here given him in trust,
But wasteth it in weary undelight
Of foolish toil and trouble, strife and lust,
He naturally clamours to inherit
The Everlasting Future that his merit
May have full scope—as surely is most just."

—The City of Dreadful Night.
