`` Where shall we lair to-day ? for from now , we follow new trails . '' ***** And this is the last of the Mowgli stories . THE OUTSONG -LSB- This is the song that Mowgli heard behind him in the Jungle till he came to Messua 's door again . -RSB- Baloo For the sake of him who showed One wise Frog the Jungle-Road , Keep the Law the Man-Pack make -- For thy blind old Baloo 's sake ! Clean or tainted , hot or stale , Hold it as it were the Trail , Through the day and through the night , Questing neither left nor right . For the sake of him who loves Thee beyond all else that moves , When thy Pack would make thee pain , Say : `` Tabaqui sings again . '' When thy Pack would work thee ill , Say : `` Shere Khan is yet to kill . '' When the knife is drawn to slay , Keep the Law and go thy way . -LRB- Root and honey , palm and spathe , Guard a cub from harm and scathe ! -RRB- Wood and Water , Wind and Tree , Jungle-Favour go with thee ! Kaa Anger is the egg of Fear -- Only lidless eyes are clear . Cobra-poison none may leech . Even so with Cobra-speech . Open talk shall call to thee Strength , whose mate is Courtesy . Send no lunge beyond thy length ; Lend no rotten bough thy strength . Gauge thy gape with buck or goat , Lest thine eye should choke thy throat , After gorging , wouldst thou sleep ? Look thy den is hid and deep , Lest a wrong , by thee forgot , Draw thy killer to the spot . East and West and North and South , Wash thy hide and close thy mouth . -LRB- Pit and rift and blue pool-brim , Middle-Jungle follow him ! -RRB-
Wood and Water , Wind and Tree , XXXXX go with thee !
