Poem by Rudyard Kipling

Chapter Headings. «When the Earth Was Sick and the Skies Were Grey...»

When the earth was sick and the skies were grey, 
And the woods were rotted with rain, 
The Dead Man rode through the autumn day 
To visit his love again. 

His love she neither saw nor heard, 
So heavy was her shame; 
And tho’ the babe within her stirred 
She knew not that he came.

      	PLANE TALES FROM THE HILLS.
	The Other Man.

1. In the Case of Rukhmibhaio

3. Quaeritur
4. Index Malorum
5. Reading the Will
