JR> Dear Mr Gressman 
JR>   
JR> Thanks for your kind comments. The only Kipling
JR> 'Supplication' I know is "The Supplication of the Black Aberdeen".
JR> But I'll try your question on my colleagues.

JR> Good morning, 
JR>   
JR> Wonderful web site.

JR> I am writing because I am searching for some verses by
JR> Kipling (or at least I think they are Kipling); “The Supplication
JR> of Kerr Cross”. 
JR>   
JR> Can you provide any direction? 
JR>
