Rudyard Kipling - How Fear CameRudyard Kipling - How Fear Came
Work rating: Low


The stream is shrunk—the pool is dry,          And we be comrades, thou and I;          With fevered jowl and dusty flank          Each jostling each along the bank;          And, by one drouthy fear made still,          Forgoing thought of quest or kill.          Now `neath his dam the fawn may see,          The lean Pack-Wolf as cowed as he,          And the tall buck, unflinching, note          The fangs that tore his father`s throat.          The pools are shrunk—the streams are dry,          And we be playmates, thou and I,          Till yonder cloud—Good Hunting!—Loose          The rain that breaks our Water Truce.
