"Recessional" is a famous 1897 poem by Rudyard Kipling, written for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, that serves as a prayer for humility and a warning against imperial arrogance, famously urging remembrance with the line, "Lest we forget". It contrasts the fleeting power of empires with the eternal nature of God, referencing fallen empires like Nineveh and Tyre, and cautions against pride and the "lesser breeds without the Law". The poem became a popular hymn and is still used in commemorative services, particularly for its plea for humility and remembrance.
