ALASKA.

Six sleeps in q sleeper from Montreal
And n moon from the end of the line,
And you stand at the foot of the great white
wall
Ger the cedar dwarfed md the dropping pine
That grow at the feet of Alaska.
Old and wrinkled and cold and gray,
With her white pail pulled DER her stony
breast,
browning and frigid and far away,
She has ever stood, as she stands today
Ia the desolate wastes of the wide northwest
Stands this hoary old woman, Alaska.
Unmolested for thousands OF years,
Isolated, remote and lone,
Her hard face glacial with frozen tears,
While over her shoulders and in her ears
The winds of the north land wall and moan
In the ears of old Mother Alaska.
A party of prospectors passed that way,
And they thought the old face had forgotten
its frown,
And, pausing, they pulled her white robe away
And found her treasure. ''Ah, q est que c est %
Said the French Canadian, kneeling down
At the feet OF old Mother Alaska.
They told their story, and men went wild
And pawned their chattels and Joined the
race.
The old Groom iingled her gold and smiled
And the gold mad men of the world beguiled
With a promise of fortune in that far place
At the feet OF old Mother Alaska.
But, oh, the rivers are wide and deep,
And the north wind breathes with a killing
breath,
And over the mountains, so rough and steep,
The old dread reaper shall come and reap
The rhine old reaper that men call death
Shall reap the white fields of Alaska!
