The Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses

The Spell of the Yukon by Robert W. Service is an inspirational and colorful collection of verses about various plants and aspects of nature. Some memorable poems include «The Land God Forgot,» «The Law of the Yukon,» and «The Lure of Little Voices.» Excerpt: «The lonely sunsets flare forlorn Down valleys deadly desolate; The lordly mountains soar in scorn As still as death, as stern as fate. The lonely sunsets flame and die; The giant valleys gulp the night; The monster mountains scrape the sky, Where eager stars are diamond-bright.»
