Poem by Rudyard Kipling

Chapter Headings. «Veil them, Cover them, Wall them round...»

Veil them, cover them, wall them round —
	Blossom, and creeper, and weed —
Let us forget the sight and the sound,
	The smell and the touch of the breed!
Fat black ash by the altar-stone,
	Here is the white-foot rain,
And the does bring forth in the fields unsown,
	And none shall affright them again;
And the blind walls crumble, unknown, o’erthrown
	And none shall inhabit again!
