Status Updates From A Choice of Kipling's Verse...

‘In the daytime, when she moved about me,
In the night, when she was sleeping at my side,—
I was wearied, I was wearied of her presence.
Day by day and night by night I grew to hate her—
Would God that she or I had died!’

‘A Tree Song’ sings of the Midsummer when the Oak-God is mid rising.

‘The Recall’ recalls ‘Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau’.

‘The Dykes’ is written in (I think) anapestic heptameter. It is scattered with iambs, trochees, and occasionally an amphibrach. The iambs are most common, though, and they act as a break on the leaping anapests. The midlines are occasionally broken, too. There's almost a skipping heartbeat in the poem.
