IF YOU'RE OFF TO 

 PHILADELPHIA— 



If you're off to Philadelphia in the morning, 



You mustn't take my stories for a guide. 

 There's little left, indeed, of the city you will read of, 



And all the folk I write about have died. 

 Now few will understand if you mention Talleyrand, 



Or remember what his cunning and his skill did; 

 And the cabmen at the wharf do not know Count Zinnendorf, 



Nor the Church in Philadelphia he builded. 



It is gone, gone, gone with lost Atlantis, 



(Never say I didn't give you warning). 



In Seventeen Ninety-three "'twas there for all to see, 



But it's not in Philadelphia this morning. 



€J This is the first stanza of Mr. Kipling's introductory poem to his capital story 

 of Philadelphia, which appears in his new book, "Rewards and Fairies."
