The Five Nations Vol I
Author: Rudyard Kipling

DEDICATION Before a midnight breaks in storm, Or herded sea in wrath, Ye know what wavering gusts inform The greater tempestspath Till the loosed wind Drive allfrom mind, Except Distress, which, so will prophets cry, Oercame them, houseless,from the unhmting sky. Ere rivers league against the land In piratry offlood, Yeknow what waters slip and ... more »stand Where seldom water stood. Yet who will note, Till fields afloat, And washen carcass and the returning well, Trumpet what thesepoor heralds strove to tell Ye know who use the Crystal Ball Topeer by stealth on Doom, The Shade that, shapingfirst of all, Prepares an empty room. Then doth It pass Like breathfrom glass, But, on the extorted vision bowed intent, No man considers why It came or went. Before the years reborn behold Themselves with stranger eye, And the sport-making Gods ofold, Like Samson slaying, die, Many shall hear The all-pregnant sphere, Bow to the birth and sweat, but speech denied Sit dumb or dealt in part fallweak and wide. Yet instant tofore-shadowed need The eternal balance swings That winged men the Fates may breed So soon as Fate hath wings. These shall possess Our littleness, And in the imperial task as worthy lay Up our lives all to piece one giant day.
