Rudyard Kipling - Darzee`s ChauntRudyard Kipling - Darzee`s Chaunt
Work rating: Low


Singer and tailor am I—            Doubled the joys that I know—          Proud of my lilt to the sky,            Proud of the house that I sew—   Over and under, so weave I my music—so weave I the house that        I sew.          Sing to your fledglings again,            Mother, O lift up your head!          Evil that plagued us is slain,            Death in the garden lies dead.   Terror that hid in the roses is impotent—flung on the dung-hill        and dead!          Who hath delivered us, who?            Tell me his nest and his name.          Rikki, the valiant, the true,            Tikki, with eyeballs of flame,   Rik-tikki-tikki, the ivory-fanged, the Hunter with eyeballs of        flame.          Give him the Thanks of the Birds,            Bowing with tail-feathers spread!          Praise him in nightingale-words—            Nay, I will praise him instead.   I will sing you the praise of the bottle-tailed Rikki with        eyeballs of red!
