Poem
The Cremation of
Sam McGee
"There are strange things done in the midnight sun, By the men who moil for gold; The Arctic trails have their secret tales. That would make your blood run cold; The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, But the queerest they ever did see, Was that night on the marge
of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee "
