_-_Poet's Corner _
This Alaska-S Love
Alaska, please forget-me-not.
This Alaska—I love;
For only $7,200,000 Alaska was
bought,
The land of the midnight sun,
This Alaska—I love.
And, from this land I’ll never run
To any far off distant cove.
Way up by the Yukon River
There’s a gold mine
And the gold-miners yell with a
shiver
At the cold black river.
The great white polar bears
Squeal with raging might;
And the seal and the walrus
Stand spellbound with fright.
And, there are cone-bearing trees
Filled with various birds
Sitting alert in the cool breeze,
Singing songs of Alaska.
I love Alaska—ail rny might.
And hope it’s people
Judge it right,
And if Alaska stays this way,
I hope to live here again some
<lay.
