Explore "L'Envoi" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There's a whisper down the field where the year has shot her yield, / And the ricks stand gray to the sun, / Singing: -- "Over then, come over, for the bee has quit the clover, / And your English summer's done. " / You have heard the beat of the off-shore wind, / And the thresh of the deep-sea rain; / You have heard the song -- how long! how long? / Pull out on the trail again!
Ha' done with the Tents of Shem, dear lass, / We've seen the seasons through, / And it's time to turn on the old trail, our own trail, the out trail, / Pull out, pull out, on the Long Trail -- the trail that is always new.
