B HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY THE BEQUEST OF THEODORE JEWETT EASTMAN COPYRIGHT, 1896, BY RUDYARD KIPLING This book is also protected by copyright THE Cities are full of pride, This from her mountain-side, That from her burthened beach. They count their ships full tale- And rampart's gun-flecked line; City by city they hail : "Hast aught to match with mine?" And the men that breed from them They traffic up and down, But cling to their cities' hem As a child to the mother's gown. |
