 | Rudyard Kipling's Verse |  |
[Because I sought it far from men]
Because I sought it far from men,
In deserts and alone,
I found it burning overhead,
The jewel of a Throne.
In deserts and alone,
I found it burning overhead,
The jewel of a Throne.
Because I sought—I sought it so
And spent my days to find—
It blazed one moment ere it left
The blacker night behind.
And spent my days to find—
It blazed one moment ere it left
The blacker night behind.
