The Seven Seas

by Rudyard Kipling

Summary

Kipling's 1896 volume sings of the sea and the empire in A Song of the English, McAndrew's Hymn, The Mary Gloster, The Last Chantey and The Rhyme of the Three Sealers. Its Barrack-Room Ballads are left out here, as they have a book of their own. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
