At the Pit's Mouth by Rudyard Kipling — Read

Men say it was a stolen tide / The Lord that sent it He knows all, / But in mine ear will aye abide / The message that the bells let fall -- / And awesome bells they were to me, / That in the dark rang, 'Enderby. ' / -- Jean Ingelow

Once upon a time there was a Man and his Wife and a Tertium Quid.
