Rudyard Kipling


Chapter Headings. «Now Chil the Kite Brings Home the Night...»


Now Chil the Kite brings home the night
      That Mang the Bat sets free —
The herds are shut in byre and hut
      For loosed till dawn are we.
This is the hour of pride and power,
      Talon and tush and claw.
Oh hear the call! — Good hunting all
      That keep the Jungle Law!

      THE JUNGLE BOOKS.
      Mowgli’s Brothers.
