The Second Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling Chapter 16 Page 5

“Come with us an easy way.”

Feed them silence when they seek

Help of thine to hurt the weak.

Make no banaar’s boast of skill;

Hold thy peace above the kill.

Let nor call nor song nor sign

Turn thee from thy hunting-line.

(Morning mist or twilight clear,

Serve him, Wardens of the Deer!)

Wood and Water, Wind and Tree,

Jungle-Favour go with thee!

The Three

On the trail that thou must tread

To the thresholds of our dread,

Where the Flower blossoms red;

Through the nights when thou shalt lie

Prisoned from our Mother-sky,

Hearing us, thy loves, go by;

In the dawns when thou shalt wake

To the toil thou canst not break,

Heartsick for the Jungle’s sake:

Wood and Water, Wind and Tree,

Wisdom, Strength, and Courtesy,

Jungle-Favour go with thee!
