Балада про схід і захід - Кіплінг Редьярд

"Put up the steel at your sides!
Last night ye had struck at a Border thief-to-night ‘tis a man of the Guides!"

Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgement Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth!
