A potent list of quotes by Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 – 1936), the English writer, poet, and novelist chiefly remembered for his tales and poems of British soldiers in India and his tales for children, specifically The Jungle Book. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907.
If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine! I know whose love would follow me still, Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
From the poem “Mother o’ Mine” by Rudyard Kipling.
If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
If I were damned of body and soul,
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
