Rudyard Kipling

Summary

Portrait of Rudyard Kipling Rudyard Kipling,  McClure's Magazine (1897)

“ The lanterns gather and grow,
And I look for the homeward fleet.
Rattle of block and sheet—
Ready about! Stand by!
Shall I ask them a fee that they fetch the quay?
(Shoal! 'Ware shoal!) Not I.
I swoop and I surge and I swing,
In the rip of the racing tide
