TAMPERING WITH TRIFI g
THE EsouIMAu.

y
To tell YOU a story of land sea,
Did YOU ever know Of land of snow
And wee brown fellow, the Esquimau,
The baby brown of the Huskie's town
Has never learned quite how to frown.
Tho he blubbering goes DER the icy foes
He makes no noise, for his blubber's froz. n
Il could call to mind were so inclined
A blubber that isn't, but mnd)
There's difference, though, twixt foe and a.
Though how they differ hardly know.
With wondering eyes, across the skies 7.
He marks where the Boreais flies
Its streamers light thro the long long p,,..
When the sun has gone on its southwark All.
But the life of the boy is round of iov.
Tho naught knows he of drum or toy
So he washes his face but once year.
And he goes for slide DER the frozen tia.
Bound tight to his sledge with walrus hid.
Or with pudgy back in a sealskn sacoue (.
He strides afar on the reindeer's track.
And all of the world in winter fured
Is his his own, where the snow is Winfield
And sung and tight thro the long, long night
With the wick of his whale-oil lamp alirht
He sits and thinks, and mods, and bnks.
INDUCING meantime in his hard-o drinks
And waits Away for the long, long day
When the ice shall split with a whoop hooravi
And the suns sheen DER the frozen soeu,
Shall glitter in crimson, and gold, and green
And the iceberg, too, it cracks plum throuvA
Shall look like temple of turquoise blue.
And the skies are deep, and the tides wide swe,o
Is cold, cold cold, where the mermaids SLEEP
And big whales sport and seals cavort
Where the King OF the Northland holds his court,
And the small brown limb sails forth with VIM
For life is matter of blubber to him
He must get his meat, and his bubber sweet
Must freeze and for his night retreat;
Then the baby brown in an icehouse town
In his icehouse crawls and curls him down.
While the prospect drear the Aurora clear
Lights--Well this runt is asleep my dear.
