Rudyard Kipling - The Run of the DownsRudyard Kipling - The Run of the Downs
Work rating: Low


The Weald is good, the Downs are best—- I`ll give you the run of `em, East to West. Beachy Head and Winddoor Hill, They were once and they are still. Firle  Mount Caburn and Mount Harry Go back as far as sums `ll carry. Ditchling Beacon and Chanctonbury Ring They have looked on many a thing, And what those two have missed between `em I reckon Truleigh Hill has seen `em. Highden, Bignor and Duncton Down Knew Old England before the Crown. Linch Down, Treyford and Sunwood Knew Old England before the Flood; And when you end on the Hampshire side— Butser`s old as Time and Tide. The Downs are sheep, the Weald is corn, You be glad you are Sussex born!
