Poem


The Cremation of

Sam McGee

by Robert Service


"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 "
