This poem hits me hard... Like 'If", it's a call to be a better man.

Thanks. I heard this on the BBC many years ago, and have been looking for it here ever since I found You-tube. One of my very favorite poems. Beautifully read.

Please bring it back. Very good videos, Mr. Jones!

'Ha' done! ha' done!' said the Colonel's son. 'Put up the steel at your sides! 'Last night ye had struck at a Border thief-to-night 'tis a man of the Guides!' How great, how glorious, how complete Redemption’s grand design, Where justice, love, and mercy meet In harmony divine!

Fantastic! The first decent recital I have heard since this poem was read to us by our English teacher 60 years ago.

Do you read a lot of Kipling poems, he has written a lot about my people the Pathans.

The Belt and Road has crossed the plains to make the pointy birds remain. The pointy birds are pointy pointy, anoint my head anointy anointy. The dallar dies and still they try to make the only Yuan reply.
