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. In the Case of Rukhmibhaio
2. Quantities of ’em
3. Quaeritur
4. Index Malorum
5. Reading the Will
