Explore "The Rabbi's Song" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ If thought can reach to Heaven, / On Heaven let it dwell, / For fear that Thought be given / Like power to reach to Hell. / For fear the desolation / And darkness of thy mind, / Perplex an habitation / Which thou hast left behind.
/ Let nothing linger after -- / No whispering ghost remain, / In wall, or beam, or rafter, / Of any hate or pain: / Cleanse and call home thy spirit, / Deny her leave to cast, / On aught thy heirs inherit, / The shadow of her past.
