Kipling post incorrect, but may have found the real one.

It has been brought to my attention that the poem posted as Kipling is not by him. Figures, I've seldom read a Kipling poem that I easily understood. My apologies if anyone passed it along. In the future I promise due diligence. . BTW, if this post looks odd, it is being typed on my phone ETA; The poem may be a reworded or "plagiarized" version of "The Beginnings" http://www.poetryloverspage.com/poets/kipling/beginning.html It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late With long arrears to make good, When the English began to hate. They were not easily moved, They were icy-willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the English began to hate. Their voices were even and low, Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show, When the English began to hate. It was not preached to the crowd, It was not taught by the State. No man spoke it aloud, When the English began to hate. It was not suddenly bred, It will not swiftly abate, Through the chill years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the English began to hate. Prescient, or history rhyming.
