Come read to me some poem.
Some cold, congealinR lay,
That shall sooth this stirling feeling
And Danish the heat away.
Not of the warm young masters
Who sing of this clustering time'
Whose retreating footsteps echo
Down the editorial climb.
But read to me some poem
On mighty glaciers and SHOWS,
Written by Hakaluka,
The bard of the Esquimaux.
And the night shall be filled with shivers,
And I, who sweltered all day,
Shall unfold an extra blanket
And noisely s,ore away.
