Poem by Rudyard Kipling

The Appeal

If I have given you delight
By aught that I have done,
Let me lie quiet in that night
Which shall be yours anon:

And for the little, little, span
The dead are borne in mind,
Seek not to questions other than
The books I leave behind.

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