Poem by Rudyard Kipling Beast and Man in India. 3. The Elephant Written for John Lockwood Kipling's The torn boughs trailing o'er the tusks aslant, The saplings reeling in the path he trod, Declare his might--our lord the Elephant, Chief of the ways of God. The black bulk heaving where the oxen pant, The bowed head toiling where the guns careen, Declare our might--our slave the Elephant, And servant of the Queen.
