Poem by Rudyard Kipling

«Epitaphs of the War». 1914-1918. 15. R.A.F. (Aged Eighteen)

Laughing through clouds, his milk-teeth still unshed, 
Cities and men he smote from overhead. 
His deaths delivered, he returned to play 
Childlike, with childish things now put away.

1. Quaeritur

3. A Ripple Song
4. The Song of Seven Cities
5. Quantities of ’em
