Explore "The Lament of the Border Cattle Thief" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
O woe is me for the merry life / I led beyond the Bar, / And a treble woe for my winsome wife / That weeps at Shalimar.
They have taken away my long jezail, / My shield and sabre fine, / And heaved me into the Central jail / For lifting of the kine.
