Rudyard Kipling - Jubal and Tubal CainRudyard Kipling - Jubal and Tubal Cain
Work rating: Low


Jubal sang of the Wrath of God    And the curse of thistle and thorn— But Tubal got him a pointed rod,    And scrabbled the earth for corn.    Old—old as that early mould,         Young as the sprouting grain—          Yearly green is the strife between         Jubal and Tubal Cain! Jubal sang of the new-found sea,   And the love that its waves divide— But Tubal hollowed a fallen tree    And passed to the further side.    Black-black as the hurricane-wrack,        Salt as the under-main-    Bitter and cold is the hate they hold—    Jubal and Tubal Cain! Jubal sang of the golden years    Uhen wars and wounds shall cease— But Tubal fashioned the hand-flung spears     And showed his neighbours peace     New—new as Nine-point-Two          Older than Lamech`s slain—     Roaring and loud is the feud avowed          Twix`` Jubal and Tubal Cain! Jubal sang of the cliffs that bar    And the peaks that none may crown— But Tubal clambered by jut and scar    And there he builded a town.    High-high as the snowsheds lie,         Low as the culverts drain—    Wherever they be they can never agree—          Jubal and Tubal Cain!
