The Kobuk Maiden
Where the sun shines bright at mid
night all thru the month of June
And in winter sheds a twilight on
the snow and ice at noon,
Lives a dusky, dark-eyed maiden*
and her heart was free from care,
And she thought not of the morrow
as she ate her salmon rare;
Her hands ana feet were dirty, she
could sing the mission psalms,
But a little soap and water would
have added to her charms.
She could run before a dog team,
and laugh with childish glee,
And the waters of the Kobuk rip
pled onward to the sea.
She could paddle her small kyak,
she could trail the fo* and bear,
She could dry the meat for winter,
she could hunt and fish and snare
She was handy with the needle, no
furrier in his trade
Could chew a boot or patch a skin
like this dusky, dark-eyed maid.
She had very few accomplishments,
she seldom wiped her nose.
And the odor of her mukluks re
sembled not the rose;
She had many dark admirers, but
she heeded not their plea,
And the waters of the Kobuk rip
pled onward to the sea.
She was not tall and slender, like
the poet’s verses tell,
She’d have been far more attract
ive if she’d had a different smell;
She was clothed in skins of ani
mals; wherever she would roam.
Many tiny little creatures would
make her ciothes their home.
Don't lay this up against her, for
she had never seen
Pears' soap nor insect powder, fine
comb of Gameline;
But no high-born lady in the land
had warmer heart than she,
And the waters of the Kobuk rip
pled onward to the sea.
When the Kotsebue excitement
brought a crowd of miners there,
There was one young man among
them with blue eyes and sorrel
hair.
He was smitten with this maiden,
and he was often seen
Hanging 'round her little igloo,
which was not so very clean.
Outside he was so dignified it would
be hard to tell
How he became accustomed to her
peculiar smell.
He brought her flour and sugar, and
bacon, beans and tea,
And the waters of the Kobuk rip
pled onward to the sea.
When the sun came|back in summer
and the winter storms were spent
And the miners left the country,
where they hadn’t made a cent,
Empty cabins, rude reminders of
the days of ninety-nine,
Stood all along the river, 'mid
stumps of spruce and pine.
In her deserted igloo sits a maiden
all forlorn:
“Kab-loo-na-kow, kow-kow-peluk,”
the white man’s grub is gone!
A blue-eyed mickining she is hold
ing on her knee—
And the waters of the Kobuk rip
ple onward to the sea.
