Explore "For to Admire" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The Injian Ocean sets an' smiles / So sof', so bright, so bloomin' blue; / There aren't a wave for miles an' miles / Excep' the jiggle from the screw. / The ship is swep', the day is done, / The bugle's gone for smoke and play; / An' black agin' the settin' sun / The Lascar sings, "_Hum deckty hai! _" ["I'm looking out. "]
For to admire an' for to see, / For to be'old this world so wide -- / It never done no good to me, / But I can't drop it if I tried!
