Summary

Portrait of Rudyard Kipling Rudyard Kipling The Ballad of the King's Daughter (1884)

And the warm blood flushed through the Monarch's daughter,
And lo! she fell on his neck with a cry.
Many there be by land and water,
(Wait and watch ye patiently)
That gave their love to a Monarch's daughter,
That bound their heart in the days gone by.
Hope is little by land or water,
Wait and watch ye patiently.
Gold wins not a Monarch's daughter,
Neither jewels nor bravery.
Get ye fame by land and water,
That your name live and do not die,
And ye win the love of a Monarch's daughter...
