Poem by Rudyard Kipling

«Epitaphs of the War». 1914-1918. 11. Pelicans in the Wilderness

   A Grave near Halfa

The blown sand heaps on me, that none may learn 
    Where I am laid for whom my children grieve... 
O wings that beat at dawning, ye return 
    Out of the desert to your young at eve!

1. Before My Spring
2. A Legend of Devonshire
3. Rosicrucian Subtleties
4. An Auto-da-fé
5. A Ripple Song
