TO THE YUKON
SOUR DOUGHS |
I’ve done just as you told me ter
that night I read to you
My simple Yukon verses and
you said, ‘‘By God!
they’re true!”
But I can’t report much
progress in a literary way,
For the folks down here don’t
hanker for the tilings I have
to say.
I lead my verses to some men
officially quite high,
Who could give you boys up
there relief if they would
only try;
But 1 couldn’t make them smile ;
or weep or even once relax —
remaps they non t like poetry
that’s based on solid facts.
I read them to the statesmen
who combined and formed a
trust
To monopolize sluice robbing
and to confiscate y< ur dust,
And snipped to Nome last
summer a gang of hired hands
To drive you limn your place is
and to gut your golden sands
I held them with my glittering f
eye and read my very best,
Just as the Ancient Mariner 1

held lip the wedding guest:
But just before I made my
point they vanished with
the “w hips”
To reorganize the army and ti>
subsidize some ships.
I tried to get my verses in the
daily picture press,
But the men who guard its
' columns sent them back to
my address,
With the gentle intimation,
"We’ve no room for news
from Nome;
We're too busy with our
neighbors Lo consider crimes
at home.”
So I’ve had my verses printed,
and I send them up to .you,
Who lor years have borne the
burden, but are yet as
staunch and true
when first you blazed the
pathway to the white and
silent land;
:\nd I know that when you
read them you will feel
and understand.
