Closing of the Book

From The Jungle Book by Kipling, Rudyard
The Jungle Book closes not with Mowgli but with 'Her Majesty's Servants' and its 'Parade-Song of the Camp Animals,' framing the whole collection as a meditation on order.
Parade-Song of the Camp Animals (closing verse)

Each animal sings its discipline; the children of all the world chorus together—Kipling's hymnic finale to the first Jungle Book.
