Rudyard Kipling - GethsemaneRudyard Kipling - Gethsemane
Work rating: Medium


The Garden called Gethsemane  In Picardy it was, And there the people came to see  The English soldiers pass. We used to pass — we used to pass Or halt, as it might be, And ship our masks in case of gas  Beyond Gethsemane. The Garden called Gethsemane,  It held a pretty lass, But all the time she talked to me  I prayed my cup might pass. The officer sat on the chair,  The men lay on the grass, And all the time we halted there  I prayed my cup might pass. It didn`t pass — it didn`t pass —  It didn`t pass from me. I drank it when we met the gas  Beyond Gethsemane.
