Rudyard Kipling - By the Hoof of the Wild GoatRudyard Kipling - By the Hoof of the Wild Goat
Work rating: Low


By the Hoof of the Wild Goat uptossed    From the cliff where she lay in the Sun    Fell the Stone    To the Tarn where the daylight is lost,    So she fell from the light of the Sun    And alone!    Now the fall was ordained from the first    With the Goat and the Cliff and the Tarn,    But the Stone    Knows only her life is accursed    As she sinks from the light of the Sun    And alone!    Oh Thou Who hast builded the World,    Oh Thou Who hast lighted the Sun,    Oh Thou Who hast darkened the Tarn,    Judge Thou    The sin of the Stone that was hurled    By the goat from the light of the Sun,    As she sinks in the mire of the Tarn,    Even now—even now—even now!
