Leaders

Now Chil, the Kite, brings home the night
That Mang, the Bat, sets free --
The herds are shut in byre and hut,
For loosed till dawn are we.
This is the hour of pride and power,
Talon and tusk and claw.
Oh, hear the call! Good hunting all
That keep the Jungle Law!

(Kipling, Rudyard. The Jungle Book.)
