It's from Kipling's
Rewards and Fairies - the head piece to "The Knife and the Naked Chalk".
The book is well worth reading, it's so rooted in Sussex (and specifically in the Weald) that you almost feel the earth and breathe the air. Beautiful country!

Kipling is great, you know I should make a summer project of reading him.
He must be really rolling in his grave these days, poor Rudyard.
