The Land God Forgot
    The lonely sunsets flare forlorn,

   The Spell of the Yukon
    I wanted the gold, and I sought it,

   The Heart of the Sourdough
    There where the mighty mountains bare their fangs unto the moon,

   The Three Voices
    The waves have a story to tell me,

   The Law of the Yukon
    This is the law of the Yukon, and ever she makes it plain,

   The Parson's Son
    This is the song of the parson's son, as he squats in his shack alone,

   The Call of the Wild
    Have you gazed on naked grandeur where there's nothing else to gaze on,

   The Lone Trail
    Ye who know the Lone Trail fain would follow it,

   The Pines
    We sleep in the sleep of ages, the bleak, barbarian pines,

   The Lure of Little Voices
    There's a cry from out the loneliness — oh, listen, Honey, listen!

   The Song of the Wage-Slave
    When the long, long day is over, and the Big Boss gives me my pay,

   Grin
    If you're up against a bruiser and you're getting knocked about,

   The Shooting of Dan McGrew
    A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute saloon,

   The Cremation of Sam McGee
    There are strange things done in the midnight sun,

   My Madonna
    I haled me a woman from the street,

   Unforgotten
Autorenporträt
Robert William Service (1874 - 1958) was a British-Canadian poet and writer who has often been called "the Bard of the Yukon". He is best known for his poems "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and "The Cremation of Sam McGee", from his first book, Songs of a Sourdough (1907; also published as The Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses). His vivid descriptions of the Yukon and its people made it seem that he was a veteran of the Klondike Gold Rush, instead of the late-arriving bank clerk he actually was. Although his work remains popular, Service's poems were initially received as being crudely comical works.
