Rudyard Kipling's Verse

Definitive Edition

expand section 

Recitative, Government of India, with white satin wings and electro-plated harp:—
How beautiful upon the Mountains—in peace reclining,
Thus to be assured that our people are unanimously dining.
And though there are places not so blessed as others in natural advantages, which, after all, was only to be expected,
Proud and glad are we to congratulate you upon the work you have thus ably effected. (Cres.)

How be-ewtiful upon the Mountains!
