SUMMER NIGHT IN NOME
Close to the Arctic Circle
Hard by the Bering Sea
Flanked by Anvil Mountain
Is its geography.
During the lurid twilight
Lasting the whole night thru
The sky one blaze of color
Matchless as to hue
The starshine and the moonlight
Do not reign supreme
The stars they have no twinkle
The moon it casts no beam.
The sunset and the sunrise
In happy blending
Night is banished for the once
In a day that is never ending.
The foregoing was sent to the
Nugget by Harry Brawn of Kelso,
Washington, a tourist who passed
through Nome on a tour recently.
