 | Rudyard Kipling's Verse |  |
The Man Who Was.
The Earth gave up her dead that tide,
Into our camp he came,
And said his say and went his way,
And left our hearts aflame.
Into our camp he came,
And said his say and went his way,
And left our hearts aflame.
Keep tally—on the gun-butt score
The vengeance we must take
When God shall bring full reckoning
For our dead comrade's sake!
The vengeance we must take
When God shall bring full reckoning
For our dead comrade's sake!
