ABSTRACT

One by Rudyard Kipling (1889-90), wherein he tries to relive, upon his return to London, his travels in Burma:

By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin’ lazy at the sea, There’s a Burma girl a-settin’, and I know she thinks o’ me; For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the Temple-bells they say: Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay!
