Rudyard Kipling 
The Seven Seas (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

A contemporary
New York Times review of this 1896 collection of poetry praised Kipling’s ‘immense rhythmic power. . . .  His preliminaries are always brief, but in the attack he carries all before him.’  The book includes the poems, “The First Chantey, ” “To the True Romance, ” and “Sestina of the Tramp-Royal, ” as well as a few of Kipling’s famous “Barrack-Room Ballads.”
