The Conversion Of Aurelian Mcgoggin: Poem by Rudyard Kipling

  1. Home
  2. Rudyard Kipling
  3. Poems

Ride with an idle whip, ride with an unused heel,
But, once in a way, there will come a day
When the colt must be taught to feel
The lash that falls, and the curb that galls, and the sting
of the rowelled steel.
