 | Rudyard Kipling's Verse |  |
V.A.D. (MEDITERRANEAN)
Ah, would swift ships had never been, for then we ne'er had found,These harsh Ægean rocks between, this little virgin drowned,
Whom neither spouse nor child shall mourn, but men she nursed through pain
And—certain keels for whose return the heathen look in vain.
