MYANMAR

 

"By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' lazy at the sea. 

​

There's a Burma girl-settin', and I know she thinks o'me; 

​

For the wind is in the palm-trees,

 

and the temple-bells they say: 

 

"Come you back, you British soldier;

 

come you back to Mandalay!"

​

"By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' lazy at the sea,

There's a Burma girl a-settin', and I know she thinks o' me;

For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the temple-bells they say:

"Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay!"- Rudyard Kipling
