The floods by Rudyard kipling stanzawise explanation
Answers
Explanation:
The rain it rains without a stay
In the hills above us, in the hills;
And presently the floods break way
Whose strength is in the hills.
The trees they suck from every cloud,
The valley brooks they roar aloud
Bank-high for the lowlands, lowlands,
Lowlands under the hills!
The first wood down is sere and small,
From the hills the brishings off the hills;
And then come by the bats and all
We cut last year in the hills;
And then the roots we tried to cleave
But found too tough and had to leave
Polting through the lowlands, lowlands,
Lowlands under the hills!
The eye shall look, the ear shall hark
To the hills, the doings in the hills,
And rivers mating in the dark
With tokens from the hills.
Now what is weak will! surely go,
And what is strong must prove it so
Stand Fast in the lowlands, lowlands,
Lowlands under the hills!
The floods they shall not be afraid
Nor the hills above ’em, nor the hills
Of any fence which man has made
Betwixt him and the hills.
The waters shall not reckon twice
For any work of man’s device,
But bid it down to the lowlands, lowlands,
Lowlands under the hills!
The floods shall sweep corruption clean
By the hills, the blessing of the hills
That more the meadows may be green
New-mended from the hills.
The crops and cattle shall increase,
Nor little children shall not cease.
Go plough the lowlands, lowlands,
Lowlands under the hills!
The poem Flood is written by Rudyard Kipling.
The poem is about the flood and the damage it has caused in the Nature or in the environment.
It is so strong that it breaks away the strength of the hills and flows with it. The roots is broken by the strong power of flood and the trees fell down like any other man's device.
