The other changes are minor and some may be the correction of printing errors. T. S. Eliot included the poem in his 1941 collection A Choice of Kipling's Verse. In the poem, a fog bell on a buoy above a shoal compares itself to a church bell and decides it does not want to "change with my brother a league inland". The church bell, controlled by the authority of the church, would have to fight with "darkling Powers" instead of independently doing its vital work and struggling with the darkling sea.
