Rudyard Kipling

Chapter Headings. «Because I Sought it far from Men...»

Because I sought it far from men, 
      In deserts and alone, 
I found it burning overhead, 
      The jewel of a Throne. 

Because I sought –I sought it so 
      And spent my days to find – 
It blazed one moment ere it left 
      The blacker night behind.

      THE NAULAHKA.
